Sometimes

"Treasures" (chords)

Bill Innis / Tyler McLaughlin

Drift over the map, Grab it like treasure

Draw over the pain, Grab any measure

Drop in that dirt pit, Swaggy with treasure

Drag under green grass, Samplin’ all pleasure

The wrong side of the grass ain’t gonna hit it empty handed

The wrong side of the grass won’t be rich, my soul not branded

The wrong side of the grass can’t be here, my soul is stranded

The wrong side wrong side ain’t gonna hit it empty handed

Drift over the lands, Drink in its treasure

Draw over the stains, Drink any measure

Drop in the last fire, Swaggy with treasure

Drag under cut grass, Samplin’ all pleasure

The wrong side of the grass ain’t gonna stay in my lane

The wrong side wrong side ain’t gonna stay back from pain

The wrong side wrong side ain’t gonna drop dead in the rain

The wrong side of the grass ain’t gonna creep with a cane

The wrong side of the grass

The wrong side wrong side

The wrong side of the grass

The wrong side of the grass

"Roads" (chords)

Tyler McLaughlin / W.J. Barry

Well shut your mouth and you might hear

That's what he said last year

And close your eyes and you might see

That's what she said to me

Well then I heard I heard a word

It changed what I thought and how I rolled

I saw a sign with my eyes shut

Pointing me down a road that I ain't never been

And now he thinks that I hear

And she thinks that I see

But there's whole a lotta road

Out in front of me

Well trust yourself and you might know

That’s what my old friends say

Lay back, enjoy the show

And don’t let it in your way

And then I heard, I heard a song

Showed me the ways I was wrong

I turn't down a road without end

Driving fast and blowing hard into the wind

And now they believe that I hear

And they believe that I see

But there's a whole lotta road

Out in front of me

And I forgave a lot of lyin'

And I live with remorse

But I'm a better man for tryin'

And I could not be much worse

And I've heard a few things

And I'm starting to see

But there's a whole lotta road

Out in front of me

Yes there's a whole lotta road

Out in front of me

"Lips" (chords)

Bill Innis / Tyler McLaughlin

I saw tonight the dark eclipse

I can't bear for us to pass like ships

At night my doc won't write more scripts

But I noticed, baby, you've got some lips

And I want to kiss them

Give up them lips give 'em to me

Yeah I want to kiss them

Give up them lips give 'em to me

Oh I want to kiss them

I think of you and my heart skips

Can't help but to do some back flips

Damn doctor won't write me no more scripts

But I noticed, baby, you've got some lips

Did you notice tonight's eclipse

Passing in the night we're like ships

Maybe your doc will refill my scripts

I can't help but notice, baby, you've got some lips

And I want to kiss them

Give up them lips give 'em to me

Yeah I want to kiss them

Give up them lips give 'em to me

Give me those lips baby

"Going Home" (chords)

Tyler & Jennifer McLaughlin

Loaded up my v-dub, headed east bound

Look'n to find love, pains what I found

Got a factory night job, and crazy day dreams

Him with my old girl, and me with my things

I gotta sweet dog, a pole to fish

Guitar & a notebook, a pen & a wish

A wish to hope, a hope to dream

A dream to see beyond these things

On through the long dark night, into the daylight

Going home, home

Going home, home

Going home, home

I'm going home

Loaded my bus lighter, headed west bound

Made it to Tyler, before I broke down

Called from a payphone and you picked me up

Towed me on back home, in our old pickup truck

With my sweet dog, a pole to fish

Guitar & a notebook, a pen & a wish

A wish to hope, a hope to dream

A dream to see beyond these things

On through the long dark night, into the daylight

Going home, home

Going home, home

Going home, home

I'm going home

I'm going home

"Christmas in Austin" (chords)

Tyler & Jennifer McLaughlin

Well it's midnight in Boston, and I can't find my way home

Been out here for years, all on my own

Look'n up in my rearview, it's clear I ain't near you tonight

It's midnight in Boston and I'm lost and I'm outta my mind

It's daybreak in LA and I'm stuck on a freeway somewhere

The Pretenders' comin' through them radio waves in the air

And look'n up in my rearview it's clear I ain't near you today

I'm outta my mind out here on this LA freeway

It's colder in Boulder than any place I've been this year

I climbed them Rockies, I didn't see you there

And look'n up in my rearview it's clear you still ain't around

I'm outta my head, up here in this cold ass town

I'm outta my head, up here in this cold ass town

And where did you go

Oh I don't know

And where did you go

Oh I don't know

It's Christmas in Austin, at the Cactus on a Monday night

The crimson-covered stage it sets the mood just right

Look'n up in the corner there's a ghost of a songwriter king

And angels and devils play their hearts out on guitar strings

And up there in front of me, in clear view I see you here tonight

It's Christmas in Austin at the Cactus on a Monday night

"Doin' & Tryn'" (chords)

Tyler McLaughlin

Well we've been

Liv'n and die'n

Walk'n and fly'n

Do'n and try'n

And we've been

Down in the deep end

Up on a mountain

Here on this road

And this life we're in

It's beauty & sin

And where do we begin

In the end

And he's been

Lost when the light shines

And found in some dark times

And traveled them white lines

And she's been

Giv'n it hell then

And try'n to tell them

And cry'n alone

And this life we're in

It's beauty & sin

And where do we begin

In the end

And there's light in the dark

And there's love in the heart

And there's dark in the light

And there's heart in the fight

And this life that we are in

It's beauty & sin

And where do we begin

"Sometimes" (chords)

Tyler & Jennifer McLaughlin

I'm here. She's there.

Ain't no one gonna listen

To what he says to what she wrote

Ain't it time she broke

Away, Away, Away

In the cold our bare feet

In the dark covered in sheets

Him and her. You and me.

Ain't it time that he broke free

Away, Away, Away

Once, twice, a third time

We tried to get it right but screwed it up so tight

That we could not get it undone

Sometimes it ain’t fun

And I've been look'n over your shoulder

It's such a perty view

Oh we're getting older

And I’m so glad, I have you

Well she's here and I'm there

And ain't no one gonna listen

Cause our heads they're hard like wood

But our hearts well they stood

Even when it weren’t fun

Even when it weren’t fun

"Everyone" (chords)

Tyler McLaughlin / Robert John Nelson / Bill Innis

Sometimes I wander by

The moon and Mars beyond stars

Out past Gemini

Other times I bust rhymes

On this rock full of dirt and people

And problems and apple pie

And don’t you do your things too

And he does his and she does hers

And she does his and he does hers

And sometimes we do

And sometimes we don't

Sometimes we will

Sometimes we won't

And it ain’t right, but we still fight

Over things don’t mean a thing

In the long run, think mom

In the long run, think son

In the long run, think about everyone

Everyone, about everyone

We’re all covered in a layer of skin

Of different shades, but we’re all made

From the same colored parts within

Some vote red, some vote blue

Some don’t vote & some smoke dope

And some ain’t got a clue

And there’s them that roast goats

And there’s them that boil oats

Some don’t eat swine, some don’t drink wine

Some pray & some don’t

Sometimes we do

Sometimes we don't

Sometimes we will

Sometimes we won't

And it ain’t right, but we still fight

Over things don’t mean a thing

In the long run, think mom

In the long run, think son

In the long run, think about everyone

In the long run, think mom

In the long run, think son

In the long run, think about everyone

Everyone

Everyone

"Next To Me" (chords)

Tyler McLaughlin

Waking up in the morn'n without you

It ain't something I wanna do

I think when you're gone

I'll just up and leave

Cause I don't want to hang around

Without you next to me

Goin' to bed in the eve'n without you

It ain't something I wanna do

I think when you're gone

I'll just up and leave

Cause I don't want to hang around

Without you next to me

And some may think that's kinda dark

And I might think they're right

But on the other side it kinda sweet

Like burnt toast scraped and sugared to eat

I think when you're gone

I'll just up and leave

Cause I don't want to hang around

Without you next to me

I think when you're gone

I'll just up and leave

Cause I don't want to hang around

Without you next to me

"Yodel Eh" (chords)

Tyler McLaughlin / Bill Innis

Dat Mississippi mud we got stuck

Louisiana flood, it's just our bum luck

Down in de bayou

In de mud & de muck

Dat heavy swamp be tick, dem sweet clovers be tin

Gett’n scared, gett'n sick of de alligatas grin

Down in de bayou maybe us, maybe him

Dat alligatas smile

She’s held back for awhile

It’s come to dat death roll

In de mud, in de muck dat death roll

Dat alligatas grin

She’s held back for de win

It’s come to dat death roll

In de mud, in de muck dat death roll

Yodel Eh Yodel Aye

Yodel Eh De Ooh Ooh Aye

Down in de bayou

Yodel Eh Yodel Aye

Dat alligatas grin

She held back for de win

Yodel Eh dat death roll

In de mud, in de muck dat death roll

Dat alligatas smile

She lurk deep in de yodel mile

It’s come to dat death roll

Yodel Eh Yodel Aye dat death roll

"Promises" (chords)

W.J. Barry / Tyler McLaughlin

Play it safe, strike your best pose

I see straight on through

Open my window & see what it shows

Okay with my feelin’ blue

‘Cause a long walk starts with a step,

Baby, I got my dress boots on

Ain’t got a map, feels kinda like a trap

I know we can’t go wrong

Act like a promise you made to keep

Baby, we can hold this line

If we do it together I know we’ll be just fine

Act like a promise you made to keep

Just, help us hold this line

If we do it, I know everything will turn out fine

You can close your eyes - I’m right here

And I know you know

So, put away your lonely, broke down fear

It’s from a long, long time ago

Promise that you’ll help us hold the line

You’ll see it clear as the sun

We’ll take it slow, 'cause we got nothin’ but time

I’d rather walk than run

Try'n to act like a promise we made to keep

Baby, help us hold the line

Yeah just walk'n I know we’ll be just fine

Act like a promise you made to keep

Just, help us hold this line

If we do it, I know everything will turn out fine

‘Cause we’re better together, and we're nothin’ apart

They say we’re broken they say we can’t get by

Gettin’ by’s enough, Gettin’ by, Gettin’ by

Promises, promises

We made, gettin’ by

Oh Promises, promises

We’re, all right

Just me and you, just me and you

Actin’ like a promise we made to keep

"Lonley Bonez" (chords)

Tyler McLaughlin / Bill Innis

In my home all alone

In your home all alone

Are you home Lonely bones

Text your phone Lonely bones

Come outside in the sunshine

On the moonshine come outside

Come on night, oh good night

On a rolled tight, come on night

In my home Lonely bones

Texting phones, chucking stones

In your home Lovely bones

Lonely bones, Lonely homes
