Celo
(B.Cotton/T.Martin)

Celo you’re bout to go another round
About to bring this party down stay here with me
Celo you’re bout to have another bout
About to bring you’re worst friend out tell him to leave
You’re mother and you’re brothers and you’re lover
Know you’re fighting for air
But you’re trading bare knuckles and screams
At the people who care

Hey I can see you thinking out loud
But it’s not that bad
Hey I can see you thinking out loud
And I know you’re mad

Celo you’re never gonna find away
To get back to you’re younger days and pan em for gold
Celo ahh the damage fear will do
There’s no one coming after you can you do what you’re told
I know that it’s hard
And I know that you’re fighting for air
But you’re throwing bare knuckles and screams
At the people who care

Hey I can see you thinking out loud
But it’s not that bad
Hey I can see you thinking out loud
And I know you’re mad

Hey I can see you thinking out loud
But it’s not that bad
Hey I can see you thinking out loud
And I know you’re mad

Celo you’re bout to go another round
Bout to let you’re best friend down tell him to leave



Doing Time in 1983
                 (B.Cotton)

Hero worship of  campus stars and prom queens
punking around with mullet heads in Skynard T's
blowing smoke in a Honda Prelude while the wall beats
Doing time in 1983
The smell of cloves pinch the parking lot air
The too cool for schools practice their frown, they dare you to stare
whose turn to play hey mister can you buy us some beer
Doing time in 1983 Doing time in 1983

Doing time with the freaks and the ghosts
the pretty Boys we hate the most we want to be like them
Doing Time with the Geeks and Jocks
and desperate souls who seem to get caught
Chasing friends, They'd like to be your friends

I wonder if these shoes match my attitude
don't complain in this quarters game or they'll pick on you
Cmon and feel the noise of the hairband boys as they shout out of tune
Doing time in 1983, Doing time in 1983

Spitting Skoal in the tractor pull at the county fair
Picking fights under Friday night lights as the whole town cheers
Pull it over and drop me off right here
Doing time in 1983, Doing time in 1983
Nothing's changed since 1983
Still doing time in 1983


The Tell
  (B.Cotton)

She don't want to let on but the signals are clear
She's wrapped up those boys but her heart is over here
And she wants and I want
It's so subtle you can fool most guys
I know what's behind those eyes
And she wants and I want
It's a lovely disguise but
I can read the signs

Her boots are pointed at me
Her hips are squared and she's playing with her hair
Her eyes they glow does she know I fell
Cuz it's all in the tell

Maybe I could walk on by
And accidentally brush her side
And then say I'm sorry
Conversation would then ensue
I'll get tongue tied and stand there a fool
Cuz I want and she wants
I'm in love tonight
I can feel the signs

Her boots are pointed at me
Her hips are squared and she's playing with her hair
Her eyes they glow does she know how I feel
Cuz it's all in the tell in the tell

I can tell that we're both making plans past tonight
Her room just got small
I can tell so has mine

She just looked over and caught my eye
She showed her cards I showed her mine
And she wants and I want
We're two of a kind
I can feel the signs

Her boots are pointed at me
Her hips are squared and she's coming over here
Her eyes they glow oh she knows I fell
Cuz it's all in the tell in the tell


I'll Do The Same
(B.Cotton/T. Martin/B.Hendrich)

Married to a memory
Handcuffed to her touch until she dies
She cuts and loves and laughs at me
And vowed to never leave my side

The trouble with a lie is that it's built to last
Knocks a cowboy down when he's bold
The best part of the truth is that the sting will pass
Cowgirl take that punch and let it go
And I'll do the same

Is the hell you know better
than the hell that you don't I don't know
But to play with that uncertainty
It sure as hell seems you'll die slow

The trouble with a lie is that it's built to last
Knocks a cowboy down when he's bold
The best part of the truth is that the sting will pass
Cowgirl take that punch and let it go
And I'll do the same I'll do the same
I'll do the Same

Exhausted from the worry
It's time to lock horns with my past
I can't duck it anymore
It's storm is gaining ground and closing fast

The trouble with a lie is that it's built to last
Knocks a cowboy down when he's bold
The best part of the truth is that the sting will pass
Cowgirl take that punch and let it go
And I'll do the same I'll do the same
I'll do the Same I'll Do the same
I'll do the Same


Man of the Morning March
                 (B.Cotton/T.Martin)

Dust off a sentiment polish your remarks
Says the man of the morning march
Curse me in the light of day hug me in the dark
Says the man of the morning march

I heard your horns blow before
And I won't tip my hat anymore
I cut myself on this edge before
And I ain't marching anymore

Treasure your best lines I'm sure they'll take you far
Cries the man of the morning march
Cry how bad you got it but be blessed that you got it
Screams the man of the morning march

I heard your horns blow before
And I won't tip my hat anymore
I cut myself on this edge before
And I ain't marching anymore

My God it's hard to wrestle with your soul these days
Oh my God it's hard to fight with yours in the way
of the the morning march

Dust off a sentiment and polish your remarks
Says the man of the morning march
Sleep warm and safely but don't forget to hate me
Crys the man of the morning march

I heard your horns blow before
And I won't tip my hat anymore
I cut myself on this edge before
And I ain't marching anymore
No I ain't marching anymore
No I ain't marching anymore

 SHOTGUN BLAST
         (B.Cotton/T.Martin)

I was giving up a broken man damn tired of waking up at three am
cursing myself, I'll never love again
young and aggressive naive and so sure
I didn't know she wasn't the girl til you came along and took my hand
Then Oh oh oh no

Like a shotgun blast it rang my head
ended the ride that I was on the world that I knew
just stopped to start again

We were barely getting by on a dollar and a dream
Said she'd like to start a family Isn't that Why we're here
To build something more
I need to build a career and save a little more
leave this apartment before we open that door
but you came along and spoiled my plan
then oh oh oh no

Like a shotgun blast it rang my head
ended the ride that I was on the world that I knew
just stopped to start again
In a lightning bolt flash I stood there in awe
the solid ground that I was on split beneath my feet
to let me know that I'd been wrong

I was finally settled down a grateful man

no more waking up at three am
but to count my blessings, thank you to the man
I didn't know what lay before me could all end just as easily
til you came along and took her from me
then oh oh oh no


Like a shotgun blast it rang my head
ended the ride that I was on the world that I knew
just stopped to start again
In a lightning bolt flash I stood there in awe
the solid ground that I was on split beneath my feet
to let me know that I'd been wrong


SUPERNATURAL
              (B.Cotton)

Staring out the side of his dream
He asks himself if it could be me if I were crazy
But lately fear turned to bound reality
He ensures himself it still could be me if I were crazy
Man I wish I were crazy

And I want to be supernatural, super everything, super wonderful
Lord I'd give anything to have it back again

Lounging through todays headlines grinning and clapping
Tomorrow he'll climb and be beautiful, man I wish I was
Sweating it out the moment until
I can find me a reason to just sit still and be beautiful
Hell I wish I was beautiful

And I want to be supernatural, super everything, super wonderful
Hell I'd give anything so here we go

And I want to be supernatural, super everything, super wonderful
Super wonderful, supernatural
And I'd give anything to have it back again
To have it back again

He turns it all off and dreams while he sleeps that tomorrow he'll wake
And just believe that he's beautiful
Man I wish I was beautiful.


Pretty Little Mess
            (B.Cotton)

There you go again where you don't belong
I thought you were finished with me I thought you moved on
But you're a star in every daydream
In every page I turn in every song I sing

It's a pretty little thing to say I love you
But a pretty big thing not to do
I wish you could know I wish you could see
What a pretty little mess love has made of me

I could change the film in my head but the theme remains the same
Imagining someone new whisper your name
Haunted by words you so rarely got to hear
I took you for granted I guess I always thought you'd be near

It's a pretty little thing to say I love you
But a pretty big thing not to do
I wish you could know I wish you could see
What a pretty little mess love has made of me

Made up your mind it was me who turned away
Made up your mind but your memory wouldn't fade
Did it boy now did it boy

Here I go again where I don't belong
I thought I was finished with you but I was wrong
mmm mmm I was wrong


Johnnie Walker
            (B.Cotton)

Sip that Johnnie Walker tap that cigarette
Survey the threads on the dance floor
Most you'll soon forget
But I ain't through spending this minute with you
Oh I ain't through spending this minute with you
I slipped and fell and I know that you slipped too

Girl you make it easy to ditch any future regret
This cowboy's heart did cross the line and tripped

Shift that stance bat your bedroom eyes
tip that hat up and brush your head aside
Oh I ain't through spending this minute with you
No I ain't through spending this minute with you
I tripped and fell and I know you slipped too

Girl you make it easy to ditch any future regret
This cowboy's heart did cross the line and trip

Scratch that hardwood floor stretch your wrangler jeans
Set Mr. Walker down and keep me company
Oh I ain't through spending this minute with you
No I ain't through spending this minute with you
I slipped and fell and I know that you slipped too
I slipped and fell and I know that you slipped too
I slipped and fell and I know you that slipped too
