The Bitch Is Back 03:06
lyrics

I’m back and by popular demand In that it’s a popular demand to understand That you fucker’s hit the ground on command This Wild West shit is not what I planned But Arkansas is the wildest heartland And the gunslinger ain’t got a free hand The gunslinger of Arkansas is back Heartbreaker with a heart coal-black The sharpest needle in the haystack You’re Jack-shit off all trades she’s a jack Every train veering off the track She’s smoking like a smokestack Haven’t you heard the bitch is back She’s blowin it up on account of her stack What’s she here for if not to attack She’s looking for something in the pitch black I came from Georgia I’m a peach They say practice what you preach But I’m a figure this is my speech And you wouldn’t get what I’d teach No speech ain’t free for each You lag but are still in gunnreach The gunslinger of Arkansas is back Heartbreaker with a heart coal-black The sharpest needle in the haystack You’re Jack-shit off all trades she’s a jack

Listen rehab ain’t for an outlaw Fuck that shit first of all Can’t stay in one place doll No gun to draw, no place to brawl Now I’m back I have big boots to fill It’s not time I have to kill Hopped the fastest train from run of the mill I got my pistol and my whiskey still 100 proof ain’t enough I’m pure ethanol I’ve been to the distillery and you’ve been a downfall Texas girl with a waist real small She took well to a southern drawl Now I’m back I have big boots to fill It’s not time I have to kill Hopped the fastest train from run of the mill I got my pistol and my whiskey still I left the girl behind she had to go I am what I am didn’t do it for show It was love but what do I know I’m just a motherfucker who won’t say no Now I’m back I have big boots to fill It’s not time I have to kill Hopped the fastest train from run of the mill I got my pistol and my whiskey still

State Line Break 03:01
lyrics
buy track
4 years later and I’m just old Whiskey in the rye no hand to hold The summer god damn stone cold Struck by lightening never struck no gold The fall of the cards made me fold The devil came to Georgia and I said sold A woman can be a lethal dose Boy don’t try and come too close I walked around comatose Her goodbye ain’t hurt the most She stopped picking up the phone State lines away, never threw a stone Barely saw her like a tire was blown I thought she was just miserable there alone That she missed me and wished we had a home But she had moved on to a life on her own A woman can be a lethal dose Boy don’t try and come too close I walked around comatose Her goodbye ain’t hurt the most

Cigarette on Moreland Ave 03:21
lyrics
buy track
Little five the city folk call it these days We’re trapped in these ways Our lives are a convenience store in that it pays Back what may get stole anyways I don’t tend to laze I’ll smoke outside til I catch ablaze October wasn’t such a thing Nah I never found that ring Mocking bird go back and sing If my band turns brass, what’ll that bring On the sidewalk buckled far down There’s a ruggedness to this big building town Beggar sees me and sits back down Eat the rich well first find solid ground There’s dusky sky melting all around I came here lost and hope ain’t what I found October wasn’t such a thing Nah I never found that ring Mocking bird go back and sing If my band turns brass, what’ll that bring Why is the grass so blue and not green We’re on the other side and it’s of the screen Chasing a yellow brick road dream But I’m colorblind and my bloodstream Ain’t blue I’d seem I bum another, numb from nicotine October wasn’t such a thing Nah I never found that ring Mocking bird go back and sing If my band turns brass, what’ll that bring

Get Your Shit and Come Back 02:46
lyrics
buy track
I took your toothbrush home again I’d mailed it back in a box way back when 4 years and we called it quits, said amen The sex never stopped since then So we’re back together I don’t know whether Two birds of a feather Supposed to mean forever Yeah we’ve been watching each other real close Who’s comin to your house the most Me again like the Holy Ghost We don’t take no wheel we coast So we’re back together I don’t know whether Two birds of a feather Supposed to mean forever So I still have your ring can’t find it Is that a sign, who designed it I tested the waters and know she’d mind it Love well whoever defined it

Outlaw of 2021 03:46
lyrics

Too old for tinder where’s a date How to clear the bar of Katy Perry straight Im an outlaw and i ramble, I don’t wait I don’t need no one, I just like setting bait A fucker looked at me wrong, I’d call it fate I broke a chair over his head before he could relate To my steadfast proclivity to violence and hate The bar broke out, call me queen of crime rate An outlaw in a civilized junkyard getting away with just ain’t that hard I stole a car because it was there I wasn’t really trying to go anywhere I’m wanted for crimes of which I’m unaware I’m unaware because I do not care Turn on the radio and garbage plays on air We stray further from god with what we choose to share Clocking in at fuck a cop outta nowhere They want to chase, well child, I do declare An outlaw in a civilized junkyard getting away with just ain’t that hard I pulled over to shoot him dead Didn’t get a word in he just got lead Fuck whatever he would’ve said This is a test drive and he tested me instead I don’t walk the thin blue line, but you’re mine shithead I left him there and off I sped At large always, I tell them go ahead I have one shot and I said what I said

Counterclockwise 03:10
lyrics

Time gets wasted the way it flies The girl went with no surprise Where does time go if counterclockwise I don’t want none of it otherwise Days turn in to months and months and months and I used to love you once just once just once yeah Now that it’s gone you’re a ghost Memories that I touched the most What would have been instead of the joke I never wanted you my heart already broke Days turn in to months and months and months and I used to love you once just once just once yeah You buy a big house and say we hurt the same I’m not sure you still know my name You said our hurt was from my pain Pick up the phone and let me explain But you went on vacation and made it plain You ignore the hurt because you’re to blame

I swear a bitch ain’t on the coke But lord Jesus that shit ain’t a joke I’m comin down but not like smoke I woke today and more I woke Ain’t no drug needed in this life of mine I’m flying higher than cloud number nine I’m the prettiest face on a wanted sign I’m no supplier but you’ll get fucked up just fine I don’t need a drug, a drug I am I’m a bitch don’t call me ma’am I’m the gunslinger nobody faster than So maybe give a good goddamn Ain’t no drug needed in this life of mine I’m flying higher than cloud number nine I’m the prettiest face on a wanted sign I’m no supplier but you’ll get fucked up just fine

Steadfast 02:42

You ever heard of hard work hard son 24 hours and the day ain’t done I wasted years on a life that just begun Get what you pay for well I got none Sometimes I wake the same day I get up because there’s hell to pay There’s no out but I look for a way My soul to sell is what I pray I am mine and that wasn’t free The days got to the heart of me My other life I was a ringer to be You lose the moment you disagree I work hard to get past the past I work hard just to come in last 24/7 black sky forecast Let it rain, I am steadfast

I ain’t no cowgirl you heard of a bandit Or Widowmaker and understand it Hands go up if I demand it Sharpshooter, shit goes how I planned it One shot is all I got One shot all I need on the dot One shot they forget me not One shot call me hot Came through cocky but I’m cocked I heard a motherfucker knocked I never walked the walk or talked You’re dead, we’re never deadlocked One shot is all I got One shot all I need on the dot One shot they forget me not One shot call me hot So I got an arsenal and a count of arson too Lay them on the ground in a line in a line of sight too Gunslinger ain’t never have to simply make do She takes the shot and it follows right through One shot is all I got One shot all I need on the dot One shot they forget me not One shot call me hot
