A LITTLE SOUTH OF BIRMINGHAM (Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music/BMI) From just a little south of Birmingham My baby called me on the phone She said she maybe missed me now and then And maybe I should come back home 460 miles to Birmingham From Cincinnati, Ohio Kentucky, Tennessee, then Alabam' Back to the sweetest place I know I did something that I should not have done Something that she could not forgive And when my key would not unlock our door That's when I headed north to live But that big city ain't no place for me I can barely breathe the air The only grass is growing through the cracks In all the concrete everywhere So every night, I just come home from work Stare out the window through the bars And then I think about the love I lost And wish that I could see the stars I'm just a little south of Birmingham And there's my baby at her door I know I'll never break her heart again I'll never leave here any more I'm just a little south of Birmingham I'm just a little south of Birmingham

AIN’T ENOUGH ANYTHING (Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music/BMI) There ain’t enough whiskey in the world To drown your memory Or distance enough to run away There ain’t enough anything for this girl My heart is empty Though I’ve tried everything, every way There ain’t enough stars in the sky To count the tears in my eyes Or to somehow light my way They say a heart should be strong So I keep holdin’ on Hopin’ you’ll come back my way Because when we were lovers Oh, my heart never knew sorrow Thoughts of your love gave life to me But our yesterdays suddenly have no tomorrow And your memory is killin’ me ‘Cause I can’t find a thing to help with the pain No whiskey or weed, pills or cocaine No, there ain’t enough, ain’t enough anything There don’t seem to be anywhere I can go For any relief or peace in my soul No, there ain’t enough, ain’t enough anything And no other lover gives comfort to me There is no other to set my heart free No, there ain’t enough, ain’t enough anything If there ain’t enough love in your heart for me Then there ain’t enough hope anywhere I can see No, there ain’t enough, ain’t enough anything There ain‘t enough anything

HELLBOUND TRAIN (Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music/BMI) Can you hear it in the distance Down the mountainside? See it burnin' through the darkness Throttle open wide? Can you hear it in the distance Hear that hellbound train? Well, it's feedin' on the lost souls Hear them weep and moan (2x) Well, it's feedin' on the lost souls On that hellbound train Gonna ride, gonna ride Gonna ride, ride, ride, ride, ride Gonna ride it when it gets here Ride that hellbound train Gonna ride it when it gets here All my hope is gone (2x) Gonna ride it when it gets here Ride that hellbound train Gonna drink a little whiskey Bourbon, beer, and wine (2x) Gonna drink a little whiskey 'Til I lose my mind Gonna find a little baby Do that snake hip move (2x) Gonna find a little baby Take her with me, too Gonna ride, gonna ride Gonna ride, ride, ride, ride, ride Gonna ride it when it gets here Ride that hellbound train Well, I'm fallin' on my knees Sayin' Jesus, save my soul (2x) 'Cause I hear it in the distance And my blood runs cold

GOOD TIMIN' GIRL (Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music/BMI) She looks in the mirror at beauty that's startin' to fade And she wonders at all of the time that she let get away All the love she turned down when she had all the time in the world But time, it ain't no kind of friend to a good timin' girl She knows how to get what she wants, but lately she finds That what her heart desires, she can't get with a wink and a smile And when the party's all over, she knows she's alone in the world There ain't nothin' as sad as the tears of a good timin' girl I met her in Winter, and my heart was cold as a stone And she gave me her fire and I kept her from sleepin' alone I thought I could change her and take her away from that world And I told her I loved her, and I lost my good timin' girl Some night you might see her, sitting right there at the bar And you'll think she's so fine and you'll want her to be where you are So you buy her a drink and you dance and you give her a twirl But, son, don't you give up your heart to a good timin' girl No, don't ever give up your heart to a good timin' girl She looks in the mirror at beauty that's startin' to fade

CRY FOR ME (Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music/BMI) Since you've gone, you left a hole I walk around it every day And every night, I tumble down inside And though you know I wish you well Darlin', I miss you like you hell And heaven only knows the tears I've cried But, baby, when you're all alone Late at night, when no one's home And there are no other eyes to see Darlin', do forgive me, if I wonder Do you ever cry for me? I guess I probably shouldn't show At places where we used to go I know it doesn't help with moving on But the ghosts of you and me They are my only company And you know how I hate to drink alone But if you were here, what would I say? It doesn't matter anyway You made your choice for everyone to see But still and all, I wonder, oh, my darlin' Do you ever cry for me? Girl, do you cry for me Like I cry for you? Since you've gone, you left a hole I walk around it every day And every night, I tumble down inside And though you know I wish you well Darlin', I miss you like you hell And heaven only knows the tears I've cried But every tear that ever fell Like prayers into a wishing well Were all for you and what could never be So darlin', do forgive me, if I wonder Do you ever cry for me? Girl, do you cry for me Like I cry for you? Tell me, baby, when you're all alone at night Do you ever cry for me?

HOME (Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music/BMI) It's the way that you feel with my hands on your hips In a cool cotton dress and a sigh on your lips As we waltz in our bare feet upon the wood floor 'Cause the baby's asleep in a room down the hall I don't think there's anyone lucky as me I got the stars in the sky and the frogs in the trees I got an old wood guitar and a dog in the shade And a redheaded girl and the home that we made And I've been 'round the world I've seen more than most people see I spent half of my life out on some road But now, after it all There's no place that I'd rather be It's so good to be home Now you're gone for the weekend and I just ain't right I brewed way too much coffee Washed some darks with the lights But I just got done singin' someone to sleep Looked a whole lot like you but he smiles just like me And I want you to know How much I miss you tonight When you're so far away, out on some road And I want you to know How much it hurts when you're gone I want you with me Here at home

OPALENE (Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music/BMI) She's like a diamond Hard and serene And we go together like a fire and gasoline And it's alright I tell you, man, it's just alright You won't see me in the morning 'Cause I ain't comin' home tonight She's like a vampire B-movie queen Says she's from Venus, ain't about to disagree I'm goin' down I tell you, boys, I'm goin' down Well, I think she's got a fever I hope to God it's goin' 'round Look at her walkin' Slow like a flame She'll raise the dead and heal the sick and cure the lame I'm goin' down I'm sinkin' down just like a stone She's like a flash on the horizon And I think a storm is comin' on Opalene

REDBIRD GREEN (Mark Utley - Sleep Cat Music/BMI) We were born into a losin' hand In a rust belt town There was high school, then the factory Then into the ground My old man got me the factory job The year I turned 19 Me and Polly bought her parents’ house Out by Redbird Green And we started up a family Back before the layoffs came Now the factory is full of weeds And a padlock on a chain So I do a little tendin’ bar Some construction here and there But there ain’t much goin’ up right now Jjust the price of everything And there ain’t no way to sell the house And we can’t afford to leave So me and Polly just keep hangin’ on A nd we try to still believe Now I wake up in a darkened house In the middle of the night Polly’s sitting by the window And I ask if she’s alright But she’s just a silent silhouette Through the curtains in the breeze And she holds our baby to her breast And I don’t know what she sees And I remember when we fell in love We were seventeen Used to sneak out every night to meet Down at Redbird Green She would kiss me underneath the stars Over by the playground swings And I held her tight against me And I promised everything And these houses all had families And I knew them all my life Now they’re boarded up and empty And our children play inside And it’s hard to see my wife and kids Hard to look in Polly’s eyes When all that I can think to say to her Is “Darlin’, I apologize” But I don’t know what I’m sorry for Am I sorry I believed? Am I sorry that I told them We could dream of better things? All I know is that I love them And I’ve never been this tired And I know no man should feel this way When he’s looking at his child
