There's not much new Still feel like cryin' Or better yet dying' She said "we're through" I'll still fight them lonesome blues Gonna drink until you're gone to the back of my dead brain Where the other ones remain I'll just blame it on somethin' that you were hell bent on leaving I'll tell myself there's nothing I could do But my conscience ain't agreein' Since you're not the first one leaving I'm not quite ready to blame it on myself You found someone new Well good for you Honey did you call Just to rub it in? Well it won't do a lick of good I'm digging here in the ground And I've cried inside this hole so long I can't get farther down I'll just blame it on somethin' That you were hell bent on leaving I'll tell myself there's nothing I could do But my conscience ain't agreein' Since you're not the first one leaving I'm still not ready to blame it on myself There's not much new Still feel like cryin' Or better yet dyin' She said "we're through"

It's time to face what we both know It's time you let me go It's clear what path you're on I'll try and say it's all God's plan A game my heart won't understand Knowing where it's been I don't know how much you cried But I know how much I tried To show you I'm not them And I tried to ease the fear from loves long gone I thought that I could turn you on Now time is proving me wrong Too blind to see it for myself That all the time that's left Won't change your mind I don't know how much you cried But I know how much I tried To show you I'm not them I hold out hope before we're old Memories die that kept you alone 'Cause honey I'm not through tryin' It's time to face what we both know It's time you let me go It's clear what path you're on

So I heard you dumped another man Now it seems to be some yearly plan Take 'em in then send them on their way I thought you'd settle down by now But old habits tend to be the last to break Word in this town travels fast Get her 'cause she will not last Now I'm another standing in a line The man who wins will know the end It's just a temporary ride I wanna be the one you've been treatin' bad And I'll tell myself we'll end up better than the others that you had And even though I'm sure to cry when loves turns to the past Gonna be the one you've been treatin' bad What caused my girl to act this way? I can only speculate No one knows and it's clear you'll never say Maybe someone hurt you long ago And you cried until your heart just ran away Now I can't make outlandish claims That I'm the one to heal the pain That's reserved for you and God alone But I'll wait my turn in hopes to love you More than all the other men you've known I'm gonna be the one you've been treatin' bad And I'll tell myself we'll end up better than the others that you had And even though I'm sure to cry when loves turns to the past Gonna be the one you've been treatin' bad Gonna be the one you've been treatin' bad

Gonna sit down in the kitchen And fix me something good to eat And make my head a little high And make this whole day complete Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama And put a good buzz on Well pass it to me baby Pass it to me slow We'll take time out to smile a little Before we let it go Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama And put a good buzz on Well there ain't nothin' to do And there's always room for more Fill it, light it, shut up And close the door Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama And put a good buzz on We gonna sit around the kitchen Fix us somethin' good to eat And make ourselves a little high And make the whole day complete Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama And put a good buzz on Cuz we gonna lay around the shanty, mama And put a good buzz on

The Maze 01:48
Girl when you gonna let me in to stay It's gettin' pretty late It's gettin' pretty late When I was young I had time enough to wait Now I'm running out of ways Out of ways to say "Are you still at the end of this maze you got me stuck in Hoping there's time Hoping there's time?"

about

Bumpkin returns after 5 years with his follow up to More Songs About Drinking and Women Who Left (2007). Themes of drinking and general disorder are evident still, but the artist also explores more somber themes that have come to light upon getting older.
