What If I Told You

I can spit to the wind
I can cry to the sky
but there ain't no one else
on this mountainside
no there ain't no one else
on this mountainside
I can bury the hatchet
doused in gasoline
I can light up a match
watch my heart grow wings
I can light up a match
watch my heart grow wings
I can rise to the occasion
like the moon or the sun
I can love me a man, but I don't need no one
I can love me a man, but I don't need no one
So with Juniper on my breath
and moonlight in my veins
I strip off my clothes
watch the world fall away
Oh the shadows like velvet on my skin
What if I told you I don't care where you've been
What if I told you?

Carhartt Angel

I met you the day the season died,
I loved you for mine,
Loved you for a time
Said what you doing up there,
won’t you come down?
quit fooling around,
I can’t love you from the ground
I know your daddy never used no rope,
climbing up them telephone poles
but he came home an angry man
so you like the line,
better than land
I like how your shoes look stacked next to mine,
got dirt on your face,
half of the time
so I wake up with you,
put the kettle on,
watch the stars burn up,
in the light of the dawn
I know they say a young man can die,
another carhartt angel fell from the sky
but there’s plenty down here that can kill a man
so you like the line better than land
work so damn hard to build you a home,
with a timber frame
and a wood burning stove
I know your daddy never used no rope,
climbing up them telephone poles
I know they say a young man can die,
another carhartt angel fell from the sky
I know you’ll make your way home,
when the work is done and the sun hangs low
I know tomorrow you’ll do it again,
cause you like the line,
better than land
you like the line, better than land
you like the line, better than land
you like the line, better than land

Use It Up
03:20
|

|
quit drinking Sunday morning,
quit quitting Sunday night,
drove my car through a cornfield,
under pale blue moonlight
farmer took out my windshield,
with that old aught six
my daddy always warned me,
don't break what you can't fix
use it up,
wear it out,
make do,
or do without
do without
I don't claim to be an angel,
nor them marrying kind,
I'm a boot kick a swinging
to where the sun don't shine
but if you still want to love me,
through the highs and the lows,
I'll say my daddy warned me,
in life you never know!
I'll use you up
you can wear me out
and I'll make do
or do without
do without
I dream of the mountains,
got a little place up there,
with chickens, goats and gardens
and I tour twice a year
and when that sun starts slipping,
down that mountain's spine,
I'll think how my daddy warned me,
to find someone who's kind
I'll use you up
you can wear me out
and we'll make do
won't do without
I'll use you up
you can wear me out
and we'll make do
won't do without
won't do without

I've been drinking
hard liquor
for hard times
for the kids back home who dare the sun not to rise
for them ivory keys, that ring no more
for boots that stomp, dirty dance floors
for the summer breeze, that brings the storm
I've been drinking
Cause it's hard, harder than, before
I brave the lonely honky tonk,
my cowboy left for the mountain top
I'm worth less alive than dead,
and angel's eyes are always red
she still sings your favorite songs,
refusing time, like its a bomb
yea I've been drinking, drinking hard,
it's my way of moving on
moving on
I've been drinking
hard liquor
for hard times
for the kids back home who dare the sun not to rise
for them ivory keys, that ring no more
for boots that stomp, dirty dance floors
for the summer breeze, that brings the storm
I've been drinking
Cause it's hard, harder than, before
Cause it's hard, harder than, before
Cause it's harder than,
before

Dive In A Lake

I'm a dive in a lake
at three in the morning
staying dry is far too boring
I'm a dive in a lake
at three in the morning
tell me you don't see the glory
of acting
young
and foolish
I'm a climb to the top of a real tall building
so I can feel the wind a blowing
I'm a climb to the top of a real tall building
so I can feel the wind a blowing
feels a lot like I been knowing
I'm alive
and I'm
still going
I'm a spread my wings and fly to the heavens
where all the angels think I'm clever
where all the angels think I'm clever
where all the more is for the better
where all the more
is for
the better

one of my favorites this year, and i'm crossing my fingers it gets a physical release. chris porterfield remains one of the best lyricists, writing songs that conjure up emotions that feel so tangible. his form of storytelling is like sitting down with someone and having a conversation; everything is laid out right in front of you, ready to be picked up.
