Bill Mallonee - In Time With Yours lyrics

yeah i'm heading out west with no dreams to rule my heart you take a shot of courage for the one you'll take in the dark sure it is a dirty job kid why did you sign on leave a better part of you a thousand miles from home speak so i can hear you open up my eyes make my heart beat in time with yours so i'll know you haven't died the clang and bang of twelve string there was joy in the air but sometimes the ride on the pa**enger side feels like an electric chair and the stories you are writing they are never what you think and the things you open up tonight well they bleed invisible ink oh to put the burdens down and we take off our disguise oh to speak aloud of things we now just whisper through our eyes athens cold and gray i hear it's warmer way out west sunlight should be peeking through ah but she ain't got here yet girl you know i love you you're all i've ever loved but these days i'm so dismayed with my own flesh and blood
