Thank u so much, i hope u don't mind i took your hard work and added some lyrics in another comment, happy to have u use my post to add to this one, I've always liked the idea of lyrics at the ready with RUclips maybe one day
I don't know how it took me 2+ years to find this, but thankfully I did! John Mooreland is a treasure and CoMo is one of my favorite places on earth. The combination of the 2 is pure bliss!!
Your music is so authentic and good and healing, shine on brother. When G_d Blesses me financially I want to put festival's together to teach folks how to grow their own gardens and can food, medicine, and flowers as well as self healing techniques. I will share your music with the world. Thank you for you music.

It’ll make your heart stop Do you ever wish you could just back out? Take your nickels and go cash out? Forget the faces you’ve been crying about And see where forgiveness takes you?

Don't you wanna shake the ground And tear heaven down And raise your fist to the guilty sky I've been pouring whiskey in the wind Burning pictures of my best friends Until the ashes cover me like rain And you meant something to me then And you mean something to me now But some things ain't meant to stay the same So bless our busted hearts Just sinking into the dark Mourning these wasted old sparks That all disappear I never meant to be Your woe-is-me emergency But I ain't dead yet And I know there ain't no glory in regret Don't it feel like the truth Comes at the price of your youth When the hell you've paid ain't quite enough And God's been making deals While we're down here spinning our wheels And using up our little share of luck Well, you beg the world to know your name And you get glitter spilling out your veins Turn turn turn, babe, I guess it's true 'Cause I was standing on a dead end drive With my pride, thumbing for a ride And somehow I ended up next to you So bless our busted hearts Just sinking into the dark Mourning these wasted old sparks That all disappear I never meant to be Your woe-is-me emergency But I ain't dead yet And I know there ain't no glory in regret Don't it feel like the truth Comes at the price of your youth
0:41:05 - You Don't Care for Me Enough to Cry Come down from your mountain Oh, I miss your holy shoutin' These days I can't make you make a sound Take me to the times where We'd look up to the skies and Climb up there and draw the thunder down Now I'm forcing myself into What you've already been through But darlin' I can't help the way I feel And you need something stronger A drug to kill the hunger And ease the awful pain of living here Well I'm the kind of love that hurts to look at Maybe we should take it as a sign When I'm strung out on leavin' Exaltin' all my demons And you don't care for me enough to cry I dreamt I'd take you with me And you'd say you forgive me And we'd live out some easy ancient song Now where I am unattended In a splendid love's remembrance You lost the mind to even do me wrong And I'm the kind of love that hurts to look at But once I was enough to make you try Now I'm underneath the rubble Tryin' not to feel the trouble And you don't care for me enough to cry So here's to hopin' I can change tomorrow You wanted hard as nails, cut and dry But I beg, steal and borrow I'm so damn good at sorrow And you don't care for me enough to cry 0:45:20 - Blacklist I started up the engine And headed for the place we met I prayed to Sister Juliette Smoked three packs of cigarettes I'm still trying to figure out forgiveness And keep track of all of my sins Just tell me you don't love me And I'll promise I won't darken your doorstep again This sure ain't how I thought that it would feel To finally have made it I've arrived alive in Danbury Damn it's overrated They put us back on the blacklist Well, we never learned why needed saved We took a ride trying to hide from the God Of early marriage and empty graves Last night New York City was heaven Now I'm feeling low And how many stones did we roll Hoping hell would explode We read all the right books We sang songs we misunderstood And with or without any reason We did rebellion what justice we could So I'm trying to think about home And all that I miss I swallowed my pride and I cried Cause we didn't exist You said it's now or never Well I never stop feeling that way We get turned around, our spirits break down We just lie and say we're okay The older I get, you know Truth, it gets harder to find And famous false prophets Get by off of robbing good men blind Maybe I don't have it in me Maybe it doesn't have me in it And if I don't fly, that's fine Just let me find a place where I fit 0:50:31 - Hang Me in the Tulsa County Stars Hang me in the Tulsa County stars Hang me in the Tulsa County stars Meet me where I land if I slip and fall too far Hang me in the Tulsa County stars I don't want to come back down to earth No, I don't want to come back down to earth My heart is growing heavy from the ever-endless hurt So I don't want to come back down to earth And babe, I know this life will make you cold and leave you mad Make you homesick for a home you never had Burning out the good with all the bad So darling let the charmers leave the room They're drowning out the Nashville moon I want to learn exactly who you are Then hang me in the Tulsa County stars Find me in the Indian Nation sky You can find me in the Indian Nation sky When it feels like nothing's real and no one's standing on your side Just find me in the Indian Nation sky I'd set ablaze the secrets I'd concealed I'd set ablaze the secrets we conceal If I could make you feel the way you make me feel I'd set ablaze the secrets we conceal And babe, I know this world will have the wolves outside your door Make you leave all that you love to fight a war And never tell you what you're dying for So, darling, let the charmers leave the room Let them have that Nashville moon I want to know exactly who you are Then hang me in the Tulsa County stars Just hang me in the Tulsa County stars 0:54:47 - No Time I know you ain't afraid, I know it ain't no use My heart just like a brick, with a blessed heavy truth You're buzzing in the strings, you're sailing towards the skies You're swimming in the seas that are streaming from my eyes In times between these memories The only thing left is the means And you may look, but you don't touch If you need me you know where I'm stuck In times between We needed holy answers, we needed tougher words We're curing all our cancers on your stolen hummingbird You're sliding into town, you're sleeping on the floor You're filling in the frequencies I tried to ignore In times between these memories The only thing left is the means And you may look, but you don't touch If you need me you know where I'm stuck In times between And if the body had the strength of the spirit, you'd be here We'd drink out in the parking lot, and then you'd disappear But lately I've been feeling like I'll never sleep again I sit up in a satellite and watch the cold world spin Well, damn it all to hell, don't it mean a thing? The love we knew so well was barely hanging on a string 0:58:27 - 3:59 AM I've been living with a curse Combing through the pages of my youth There's a million soggy miles Soaking through the soles of my shoes And I've been staying up all night I don't give a damn to sleep anymore My eyelids are heavy But my dreams don't sing like before And I apologize a thousand times for holding up the show I always had the words, but they don't quite know where to go You said give me one good reason, now give me 20 more Don't give yourself away to settle someone else's score I got the guiltiest conscience Listening for a savior on a Saturday night I got my ear to the ground You got Easter Sunday in your eyes And I apologize if I seem a little overwhelmed I'm thirsty, but the holy keep on pissing in my well I had a purpose and a song that was true But I ain't ever had a lick of sense when it comes to you So try to be patient, try to understand I'm a child, trying to do the work of a man My pockets are empty, I don't own a thing But I'd take a diamond from the sky and put it in your ring 1:02:18 - East October Looking backwards all my pictures Look like send ups of stolen scriptures We were children dressed up like men Paintin' places we'd never been How am I ever gonna get by? How am I ever gonna get by all by myself? Well I'm trying to keep it simple But ain't these gods so damn fickle You're stiff and strong Then you're scared and sober North Carolina in east october How am I ever gonna get by? How am I ever gonna get by all by myself? How am I ever gonna get by? How am I ever gonna get by all by myself? Tell me when and where you learned it You built your chapel and then you burned it Was it Satan or the second coming? The soul you're bearing The song you're strumming How am I ever gonna get by? How am I ever gonna get by all by myself? How am I ever gonna get by? How am I ever gonna get by all by myself? 1:06:25 - I'm Learning How to Tell Myself the Truth Congratulations on your book Your sharp tongued wit had me shook Thought about trying a little too long Give it up now, the good Lord's gone But we could put a record on We could dance on this shattered glass 'til dawn We could try to make it disappear All the cold we hold so dear I'm learning how to tell myself the truth Forget all the shit I used to think I knew Forgive me if I cannot give you proof I just wanna move you Seems to me this shindig's doomed You left your oldest costumes in the other room Been a little while, word got loose Mama's little martyr with the bible belt noose Well, the leaper at the door says let me in I slept right through the daylight again They're throwing roses at our feet Talk is cheap, but man, so are we I'm learning how to tell myself the truth Forget all the shit I used to think I knew Forgive me if I cannot give you proof I just wanna move you And tell me, when you look into my eyes Do you still see a soul you recognize? These golden Gods keep telling me their lies But I just wanna be true I just wanna move you 1:10:15 - Cherokee I guess I got a taste for poison I've given up on ever bein well I keep mindin the horizon Diggin for lies I have yet to tell And I wish you were here And softly say my name Calm down all the chemicals tearin through my brain I don't think I've missed you this much Since I was seventeen I'd call you in the morning, but I think this is a dream Cherokee Cherokee Well you'd call those doubts right out of me I see you shinin through the tree tops, But don't feel you pulling strings anymore I still use your old alarm clock Every mornin I get further off the course. And don't I hear you speakin in the noises in this house Airplanes flyin over, shakin all my secrets out Darlin tell me somethin that I don't already know I'm aware of where to find ya it hurts too bad to go To Cherokee Cherokee Well, you call those doubts right out of me It felt like the world was burnin You had stars in your eyes Shinin for a feelin that I can't afford to buy Everything you taught me still rattles in my head I'm stayin off of Main Street, You're talking to the dead In Cherokee Cherokee I wish you'd call these doubts right out of me

Wailing all your wounds you’re as salty as the sea Blue Jean Carolina Remind me why i do this Tell me what the truth is Don't tell me who to be I don't have have to tell This life is plenty painful It comes by fallen angels Fallen down on me Ive been feeling fucked up Guess i always have been Couldn't let it happen Couldn't leave it be Blue Jean Carolina Carried in the wind Your soul is paper thin now but it doesn't have to be Blue Jean Carolina Tell me why i do this Tell me what the truth is Don't tell me who to be I don't have have to tell This life is plenty painful It comes by fallen angels Fallen down on me Carried in the wind Your soul is paper thin now Hey there fallen angel You can fall on me
No Time: Long time no see, why can't we just be. Do we have to live right here forever Talking about plans Over some cover band They say love is like a dying ember Now its all a blur We thought its who we were Always taking your shit out on somebody Smoking after school Pissing in the pool Some of us were born to crash the party I don't have the time, I don't have the time to cry Open up the shop, ticket from the top I'm looking for the face not a feeling I want to see the beast, I want to loose this lease I want to see the rest I've been dreaming I don't have the time, I don't have the time to cry Message in the sand Happiness in hand Always taking my shit out on somebody I guess it's what we do It never won't be true Love is like a tidal wave tsunami
GOD GIVEN GIFTS, COURAGE WITH HARD WORK, STANDS OUT, AND SHINES FOR THE WORLD TO SEE AND HEAR! HEAVENLY FATHER, ALL I WANT, ALL I NEED, MORE OF YOU, LESS OF ME! GOD IS LOVE, AND GOD'S LOVE IS FOREVER! ALL GLORY TO OUR FATHER, AND OUR KING OF KING'S, LORD OF LORD'S, EMMANUEL GOD WITH US JESUS CHRIST! AMEN👆👆👆🙌🙌🙌💞💞💞😇💋❤
I just cannot get enough of them both on electric. It's like they are singing to each other. Here's a clip from this summer: ruclips.net/video/vH4oB8_eonE/видео.html
I'd been right there at this show if we lived in a free country. The powers choose to divide us while robbing us of the things we love. I still can't get in the Blue Note.....

I wanna fall asleep forever
I wanna learn to disappear
Can you take away the mess, that's been building in my chest
Drowning out the song I used to hear
Love's a violent word, don't you forget it
I ain't saying that you ever could
I've seen my seasons change
I was crying out your name
Remember when we used to feel so good
So don't forget to love me in damnation
For the living I have earned on love gone wrong
And we'll open up old wounds in celebration
If we don't bleed, it don't feel like a song
You got your honest intuition
You got your cigarette smoke
And I'm all your oldest fears, the black mark on last year
But I got the hope you let me hold
So let them judge and shove us under
And let them do the devil's work
Let them calculate the crimes in all our broken rhymes
But let us find the heaven following the hurt
So don't forget to love me in damnation
For the living I have earned on love gone wrong
And we'll open up old wounds in celebration
If we don't bleed, it don't feel like a song
0:05:14 - God's Medicine
I guess by now I'm supposed to be a man
They said I'd find some kind of freedom
When I forgot what I said
My grandmother still gives me
Ten bucks on my birthday
And she told me that sleep was God's medicine
And you're gonna die someday
So life, take all your terror
Surrender to the truth
It's times like these, I forget why I quit loving you
I recall when I thought I had a plan
The sun, the moon, and stars
Seem to flip right through my hands
But remember that failure
Is part of being alive
I guess I let it take away my pride
One many times
And I know you gonna leave me
And here's nothing I can do
But times like these, I forget why I quit loving you
So life take all your terror
Surrender to the truth
It's times like these I forget why I quit loving you
And I don't know what I'm doing
Hell I don't have a clue
But times like these, I forget why I quit loving you
I forget why I quit
0:08:42 - In Times Between
I know you ain't afraid, I know it ain't no use
My heart just like a brick, with a blessed heavy truth
You're buzzing in the strings, you're sailing towards the skies
You're swimming in the seas that are streaming from my eyes
In times between these memories
The only thing left is the means
And you may look, but you don't touch
If you need me you know where I'm stuck
In times between
We needed holy answers, we needed tougher words
We're curing all our cancers on your stolen hummingbird
You're sliding into town, you're sleeping on the floor
You're filling in the frequencies I tried to ignore
In times between these memories
The only thing left is the means
And you may look, but you don't touch
If you need me you know where I'm stuck
In times between
And if the body had the strength of the spirit, you'd be here
We'd drink out in the parking lot, and then you'd disappear
But lately I've been feeling like I'll never sleep again
I sit up in a satellite and watch the cold world spin
Well, damn it all to hell, don't it mean a thing?
The love we knew so well was barely hanging on a string
0:13:00 - I Always Let You Burn Me to the Ground
One, two, three
We never talked about survival
I don't know what good talking would've done
My long lost revival
Withered up in the adolescent sun
Lost, let down
I always let you burn me to the ground
I am unwound
I always let you burn me to the ground
Well, you look like a welcome disaster
Like the only one who knows the naked truth
Show me how to kill my master
Hold me down long enough to grow these roots
Let the rain bear down
I always let you burn me to the ground
A king is crowned
I always let you burn me to the ground
Lost, let down
I always let you burn me to the ground
I am unwound
I always let you burn me to the ground
0:17:20 - Gospel
I wanna make it out alive, never think about looking back
I wanna drive like hell when I steal the devil's Cadillac
I wanna take that old Eldorado down a dirt road
With "How I Made it Over" playing on the radio
I wanna be solid as the earth and cool like the night air
I wanna believe even though I know life don't play fair
I wanna wear my heart on my sleeve but be tough when I have to
I wanna dust off the stars and hang them on the wall for you
I wanna ask all the questions with answers we'll never know
I wanna find my faith in records from long ago
I wanna set fear on fire and give dreaming a fair shot
And never give up whether anybody cares or not
0:21:46 - Lies I Chose to Believe
Well I’ve gone and lost my faith in photographs
Cursed those martyrs that mark my past
And I long for a day when we’ll look back and laugh
About all this
But good luck finding your peace of mind
Being born into these brutal times
And these days I don’t pray when I close my eyes
I just bite my tongue a bit harder
Cause you were a lie I chose to believe
A lie I chose to believe
Let’s float these gutters up past heaven’s gate
Get me out of these damn desert states
Did you hear the one about the hand of fate?
It’ll make your heart stop
Do you ever wish you could just back out?
Take your nickels and go cash out?
Forget the faces you’ve been crying about
And see where forgiveness takes you?
Sweet surrender like the break of dawn
With the map laid out and the arrows drawn
But I think too much and wait too long
And I never tell but you know
How to lift me when I sink too low
You might also like
Amen, So Be It

Love Is Not an Answer

You Don’t Care for Me Enough to Cry
John Moreland
Now I’ve found me a reason to be a man
Out on the shoulder with an outstretched hand
Just a little solid ground to stand
Is all I ever needed
So I’ll shout it out from the heavens above
Hell ain’t nothin’ but the devil’s drug
And love ain’t a sickness, though I once thought it was
When I was too surrounded to see
0:26:16 - Blue Dream Carolina
0:30:23 - I Need You to Tell Me Who I Am
I'm staring at the sky with a lump inside my throat
I'm as green as the grass in every song you wrote
Well babe, I'm afraid I lost it all before you knew I had it
Boxes full of dust are falling from the attic
I threw my love into the ocean and I found it in the sand
And I need you to tell me who I am
I got years worth of work and I'm running low on tools
I've been worshiping the words of weary worn out fools
We stood out on the sidewalk throwing feathers at the castle
Be careful what you wish for, babe you look a little fragile
And they'll blow smoke in your direction til you don't know where you stand
And I need you to tell me who I am
I never cared for anyone so much
I was born with a bomb inside my gut
You spend so long looking that you never really see
I need you to tell me what to be
Well babe, I'm afraid I lost it before you knew I had it
I only wanted one thing and I put my faith in magic
I threw my love into the ocean and I found it in the sand
I need you to tell me who I am
0:36:15 - No Glory In Regret
Did you hear the devil laughing
From the ambulance passing
Or was that just my troubled mind?
Don't you wanna shake the ground
And tear heaven down
And raise your fist to the guilty sky
I've been pouring whiskey in the wind
Burning pictures of my best friends
Until the ashes cover me like rain
And you meant something to me then
And you mean something to me now
But some things ain't meant to stay the same
So bless our busted hearts
Just sinking into the dark
Mourning these wasted old sparks
That all disappear
I never meant to be
Your woe-is-me emergency
But I ain't dead yet
And I know there ain't no glory in regret
Don't it feel like the truth
Comes at the price of your youth
When the hell you've paid ain't quite enough
And God's been making deals
While we're down here spinning our wheels
And using up our little share of luck
Well, you beg the world to know your name
And you get glitter spilling out your veins
Turn turn turn, babe, I guess it's true
'Cause I was standing on a dead end drive
With my pride, thumbing for a ride
And somehow I ended up next to you
So bless our busted hearts
Just sinking into the dark
Mourning these wasted old sparks
That all disappear
I never meant to be
Your woe-is-me emergency
But I ain't dead yet
And I know there ain't no glory in regret
Don't it feel like the truth
Comes at the price of your youth
0:41:05 - You Don't Care for Me Enough to Cry
Come down from your mountain
Oh, I miss your holy shoutin'
These days I can't make you make a sound
Take me to the times where
We'd look up to the skies and
Climb up there and draw the thunder down
Now I'm forcing myself into
What you've already been through
But darlin' I can't help the way I feel
And you need something stronger
A drug to kill the hunger
And ease the awful pain of living here
Well I'm the kind of love that hurts to look at
Maybe we should take it as a sign
When I'm strung out on leavin'
Exaltin' all my demons
And you don't care for me enough to cry
I dreamt I'd take you with me
And you'd say you forgive me
And we'd live out some easy ancient song
Now where I am unattended
In a splendid love's remembrance
You lost the mind to even do me wrong
And I'm the kind of love that hurts to look at
But once I was enough to make you try
Now I'm underneath the rubble
Tryin' not to feel the trouble
And you don't care for me enough to cry
So here's to hopin' I can change tomorrow
You wanted hard as nails, cut and dry
But I beg, steal and borrow
I'm so damn good at sorrow
And you don't care for me enough to cry
0:45:20 - Blacklist
I started up the engine
And headed for the place we met
I prayed to Sister Juliette
Smoked three packs of cigarettes
I'm still trying to figure out forgiveness
And keep track of all of my sins
Just tell me you don't love me
And I'll promise I won't darken your doorstep again
This sure ain't how I thought that it would feel
To finally have made it
I've arrived alive in Danbury
Damn it's overrated
They put us back on the blacklist
Well, we never learned why needed saved
We took a ride trying to hide from the God
Of early marriage and empty graves
Last night New York City was heaven
Now I'm feeling low
And how many stones did we roll
Hoping hell would explode
We read all the right books
We sang songs we misunderstood
And with or without any reason
We did rebellion what justice we could
So I'm trying to think about home
And all that I miss
I swallowed my pride and I cried
Cause we didn't exist
You said it's now or never
Well I never stop feeling that way
We get turned around, our spirits break down
We just lie and say we're okay
The older I get, you know
Truth, it gets harder to find
And famous false prophets
Get by off of robbing good men blind
Maybe I don't have it in me
Maybe it doesn't have me in it
And if I don't fly, that's fine
Just let me find a place where I fit
0:50:31 - Hang Me in the Tulsa County Stars
Hang me in the Tulsa County stars
Hang me in the Tulsa County stars
Meet me where I land if I slip and fall too far
Hang me in the Tulsa County stars
I don't want to come back down to earth
No, I don't want to come back down to earth
My heart is growing heavy from the ever-endless hurt
So I don't want to come back down to earth
And babe, I know this life will make you cold and leave you mad
Make you homesick for a home you never had
Burning out the good with all the bad
So darling let the charmers leave the room
They're drowning out the Nashville moon
I want to learn exactly who you are
Then hang me in the Tulsa County stars
Find me in the Indian Nation sky
You can find me in the Indian Nation sky
When it feels like nothing's real and no one's standing on your side
Just find me in the Indian Nation sky
I'd set ablaze the secrets I'd concealed
I'd set ablaze the secrets we conceal
If I could make you feel the way you make me feel
I'd set ablaze the secrets we conceal
And babe, I know this world will have the wolves outside your door
Make you leave all that you love to fight a war
And never tell you what you're dying for
So, darling, let the charmers leave the room
Let them have that Nashville moon
I want to know exactly who you are
Then hang me in the Tulsa County stars
Just hang me in the Tulsa County stars
0:54:47 - No Time
I know you ain't afraid, I know it ain't no use
My heart just like a brick, with a blessed heavy truth
You're buzzing in the strings, you're sailing towards the skies
You're swimming in the seas that are streaming from my eyes
In times between these memories
The only thing left is the means
And you may look, but you don't touch
If you need me you know where I'm stuck
In times between
We needed holy answers, we needed tougher words
We're curing all our cancers on your stolen hummingbird
You're sliding into town, you're sleeping on the floor
You're filling in the frequencies I tried to ignore
In times between these memories
The only thing left is the means
And you may look, but you don't touch
If you need me you know where I'm stuck
In times between
And if the body had the strength of the spirit, you'd be here
We'd drink out in the parking lot, and then you'd disappear
But lately I've been feeling like I'll never sleep again
I sit up in a satellite and watch the cold world spin
Well, damn it all to hell, don't it mean a thing?
The love we knew so well was barely hanging on a string
0:58:27 - 3:59 AM
I've been living with a curse
Combing through the pages of my youth
There's a million soggy miles
Soaking through the soles of my shoes
And I've been staying up all night
I don't give a damn to sleep anymore
My eyelids are heavy
But my dreams don't sing like before
And I apologize a thousand times for holding up the show
I always had the words, but they don't quite know where to go
You said give me one good reason, now give me 20 more
Don't give yourself away to settle someone else's score
I got the guiltiest conscience
Listening for a savior on a Saturday night
I got my ear to the ground
You got Easter Sunday in your eyes
And I apologize if I seem a little overwhelmed
I'm thirsty, but the holy keep on pissing in my well
I had a purpose and a song that was true
But I ain't ever had a lick of sense when it comes to you
So try to be patient, try to understand
I'm a child, trying to do the work of a man
My pockets are empty, I don't own a thing
But I'd take a diamond from the sky and put it in your ring
1:02:18 - East October
Looking backwards all my pictures
Look like send ups of stolen scriptures
We were children dressed up like men
Paintin' places we'd never been
How am I ever gonna get by?
How am I ever gonna get by all by myself?
Well I'm trying to keep it simple
But ain't these gods so damn fickle
You're stiff and strong
Then you're scared and sober
North Carolina in east october
How am I ever gonna get by?
How am I ever gonna get by all by myself?
How am I ever gonna get by?
How am I ever gonna get by all by myself?
Tell me when and where you learned it
You built your chapel and then you burned it
Was it Satan or the second coming?
The soul you're bearing
The song you're strumming
How am I ever gonna get by?
How am I ever gonna get by all by myself?
How am I ever gonna get by?
How am I ever gonna get by all by myself?
1:06:25 - I'm Learning How to Tell Myself the Truth
Congratulations on your book
Your sharp tongued wit had me shook
Thought about trying a little too long
Give it up now, the good Lord's gone
But we could put a record on
We could dance on this shattered glass 'til dawn
We could try to make it disappear
All the cold we hold so dear
I'm learning how to tell myself the truth
Forget all the shit I used to think I knew
Forgive me if I cannot give you proof
I just wanna move you
Seems to me this shindig's doomed
You left your oldest costumes in the other room
Been a little while, word got loose
Mama's little martyr with the bible belt noose
Well, the leaper at the door says let me in
I slept right through the daylight again
They're throwing roses at our feet
Talk is cheap, but man, so are we
I'm learning how to tell myself the truth
Forget all the shit I used to think I knew
Forgive me if I cannot give you proof
I just wanna move you
And tell me, when you look into my eyes
Do you still see a soul you recognize?
These golden Gods keep telling me their lies
But I just wanna be true
I just wanna move you
1:10:15 - Cherokee
I guess I got a taste for poison
I've given up on ever bein well
I keep mindin the horizon
Diggin for lies I have yet to tell
And I wish you were here
And softly say my name
Calm down all the chemicals tearin through my brain
I don't think I've missed you this much
Since I was seventeen
I'd call you in the morning, but I think this is a dream
Cherokee
Cherokee
Well you'd call those doubts right out of me
I see you shinin through the tree tops,
But don't feel you pulling strings anymore
I still use your old alarm clock
Every mornin I get further off the course.
And don't I hear you speakin in the noises in this house
Airplanes flyin over, shakin all my secrets out
Darlin tell me somethin that I don't already know
I'm aware of where to find ya it hurts too bad to go
To Cherokee
Cherokee
Well, you call those doubts right out of me
It felt like the world was burnin
You had stars in your eyes
Shinin for a feelin that I can't afford to buy
Everything you taught me still rattles in my head
I'm stayin off of Main Street,
You're talking to the dead
In Cherokee
Cherokee
I wish you'd call these doubts right out of me
Couldn't copy paste these lyrics the process was special to me, one line still I'm unsure on... Thank you John.

Remind me why i do this
Tell me what the truth is
Don't tell me who to be
I don't have to tell u
This life is plenty painful
It comes by fallen angels
Fallen down on me
These days it goes slow
Slower than your used to
The good aint coming through you
It's Begging for release
Why don't u surrender
What's it to a killer ???
Wailing all your wounds you’re as salty as the sea
Blue Jean Carolina
Remind me why i do this
Tell me what the truth is
Don't tell me who to be
I don't have have to tell
This life is plenty painful
It comes by fallen angels
Fallen down on me
Ive been feeling fucked up
Guess i always have been
Couldn't let it happen
Couldn't leave it be
Blue Jean Carolina
Carried in the wind
Your soul is paper thin now but it doesn't have to be
Blue Jean Carolina
Tell me why i do this
Tell me what the truth is
Don't tell me who to be
I don't have have to tell
This life is plenty painful
It comes by fallen angels
Fallen down on me
Carried in the wind
Your soul is paper thin now
Hey there fallen angel
You can fall on me
No Time:
Long time no see,
why can't we just be.
Do we have to live right here forever
Talking about plans
Over some cover band
They say love is like a dying ember
Now its all a blur
We thought its who we were
Always taking your shit out on somebody
Smoking after school
Pissing in the pool
Some of us were born to crash the party
I don't have the time, I don't have the time to cry
Open up the shop, ticket from the top
I'm looking for the face not a feeling
I want to see the beast, I want to loose this lease
I want to see the rest I've been dreaming
I don't have the time, I don't have the time to cry
Message in the sand
Happiness in hand
Always taking my shit out on somebody
I guess it's what we do
It never won't be true
Love is like a tidal wave tsunami
GOD GIVEN GIFTS, COURAGE WITH HARD WORK, STANDS OUT, AND SHINES FOR THE WORLD TO SEE AND HEAR! HEAVENLY FATHER, ALL I WANT, ALL I NEED, MORE OF YOU, LESS OF ME! GOD IS LOVE, AND GOD'S LOVE IS FOREVER! ALL GLORY TO OUR FATHER, AND OUR KING OF KING'S, LORD OF LORD'S, EMMANUEL GOD WITH US JESUS CHRIST! AMEN👆👆👆🙌🙌🙌💞💞💞😇💋❤
Ture and John Blesses us with gods presence that is as it should be
41:10 for one of the most amazing songs I have ever heard
you dont care for me enough to cry!!! deaf my favorite an i dig cherokee to
I made it listen to a friend, she was crying at the second Mr Moreland started to sing. What a fantastic song, and a fantastic songwritter
lOve
So good. Love it. Can´t wait to see him live someday. Do anyone know what kind of guitar he uses?
Which one? The electric is a telecaster
so great! anyone know what kind of pedal combo is being used to get that pedal steel sound?
Not sure. Try reaching out to John Calvin Abney on FB @johncalvinabney. Great guy! He would know!!
volume pedal mostly, and some reverb. prob other pedals but those will take you far enough
As it is fairly impossible to see John live when you live in Europe, I would beg for 1 professional live recording. Specially acoustic.
something is lost in the studio something is gained also i understand, Id welcome hearing it.
I just cannot get enough of them both on electric. It's like they are singing to each other. Here's a clip from this summer:
ruclips.net/video/vH4oB8_eonE/видео.html
They are singing to each other
I'd been right there at this show if we lived in a free country. The powers choose to divide us while robbing us of the things we love. I still can't get in the Blue Note.....
LMMFAO
I used to frequent the blue note when I lived in that neighborhood. Saw a lot of great stuff in there
