She got strength like her daddy never did She got faith like a sweet little kid I got a feeling that I’m finally gonna stick around here Soft eyes, curly hair like her Mama who got her name from an 80’s soap opera Don’t leave me hanging like the crystal from a chandelier Hearts on a wire in a circus surrounded by lost lovers and fools They’re all waiting for promise to surface But I just gotta do it, even if I lose it... Baby you can break, baby you can break my heart Baby you can break, baby you can break my heart I used to be some sort of blue jean Casanova California kid, hypnotizing cobras When I met her I felt something like a New Year’s Eve I told myself I’m not getting any younger I lost myself to that twenty-something hunger She gives me hope and gives it to me like you wouldn’t believe Hearts on fire, don’t you feel it? No use in waiting for the smoke to clear. Trust me with your scars and secrets Come on and give me a shot, I’m gonna give you all I got, ha Baby you can break, baby you can break my heart Baby you can break, baby you can break my heart I got a feeling that you won’t do it anyway But it’s up to you what you do with my heart babe Baby you can break, baby you can break my heart. Running out of words to tell you how I feel, always wanna give you more, oh oh Finally believe for once that love is real, never really have before, oh oh Baby you can break, baby you can break my heart Baby you can break, baby you can break my heart I got a feeling that you won’t do it anyway But it’s up to you what you do with my heart babe Baby you can break, you can break, you can break my heart. Baby you can break, you can break, you can break my heart.

Meet me at the river at midnight Cover me in mercy and moonlight Neon sunrise, open my eyes It's not too late to begin again I've got bloody hands Haven't slept in a week Barricading doors and swallowing keys Looking over my shoulder, never turning on lights Meet me at the river at midnight Up to my knees in my own grave Pull me up and under those dark cold waves It's either me or the devil going down tonight So Devil, meet me at the river at midnight Won’t you swing low if you can hear me on high? Leave my gloves in the shallows of the riverside Tired of feeling small Tired of all the fear Leave my doubts in the shadows of the water here Up to my knees in my own grave Pull me up and under those dark cold waves It's either me or the devil going down tonight So Devil, meet me at the river at midnight Up to my knees in my own grave Pull me up and under those dark cold waves It's either me or the devil going down tonight So Devil, meet me at the river at midnight Dust me off and make me clean Let the cover of night wash over me Me and the devil rising up to fight Going down with the sinners, meet me at the river at midnight

She left home on a whim, on a prayer humming hymns; a hundred bucks to her name and no credit cards. She cut through Oklahoma in her little Toyota. Golden Gate on her heart and her money in a mason jar. She called her Mama at a truck stop out in Flagstaff, Arizona. She said, “I’m gonna make it fine off of kindness and Coca­-Cola. It’s in my heart, it’s in my bones in my blood, and it’s in my soul. It’s even in the static on the radio. It’s why I live, it’s why I leave It’s safe to say it’s a part of me: I was born without borders." Born and raised in the Southeast; now twenty-three on Frisco’s streets; scraping by on that minimum wage. She didn’t fall in love, but she stumbled on growing up. She used to think those things would come with age. She said, “I’ll give it a year or so. I’ve gotta give me some time to grow.” It’s in my heart, it’s in my bones in my blood, and it’s in my soul. It’s even in the static on the radio. It’s why I live, it’s why I leave It’s safe to say it’s a part of me: I was born without borders. I was born without borders. The funny thing about faith: it’s hard as hell to fake. Believing looks a lot like gambling. I’ve tried counting cards, I’ve tried shooting stars, But all my prayers fade into rambling. The good Lord knows that I’m a restless man; I hope he helps her somehow understand... She’s in my heart, she’s in my bones she’s in my blood, and she’s in my soul. She’s even in the static on the radio. She’s why I live, she’s why I leave It’s safe to say she’s a part of me I was born without borders. I was born without borders. We were born without borders

I’ve been looking for a way out, or a way in No one ever wants to fade-out, I don’t wanna fade-in You don’t know nothing, til you don’t have nothing, and I know nothing well Success don’t come easy, but it’s no hard sell I’m all in, Break my bank if I don’t win I’m all in, It’s the last damn bullet in the barrel of the gun, but something tells me it’s the one I’m all in. Four roses and a rosary and a hard-working woman next to me Long white lines for eternity honey, let’s go for a drive. You can’t have nothing, if you don’t want something, and I want everything Heartbreak don’t come easy and it don’t come cheap I’m all in, Break my bank if I don’t win I’m all in, It’s the last damn bullet in the barrel of the gun, but something tells me it’s the one I’m all in. If I lose it all at least I’ll never lose again I’m all in, Break my bank if I don’t win I’m all in, It’s the last damn bullet in the barrel of the gun, but something tells me it’s the one I’m all in. I’m all in, Break my bank if I don’t win I’m all in, It’s the last damn bullet in the barrel of the gun, but something tells me it’s the one I’m all in.

I don't have much on me loose change and a set of keys Trouble up to my knees And the water's rising Torn-up like a magazine More broke than a broke-down cash machine But I shake it off like a tambourine and keep on rising Keep on rising Hey, come on up for the breakdown It's a soul search shakedown Put your fists up or you'll end up, messed up face down It's a hard knock living But I'mma go down swingin Gonna dig in, for the fall out, ‘til you hear me singing Heartache isn't meant to last Let it test you like a polygraph Get strong move on let it pass Keep on climbing Let pain take its toll on me But pain ain't got no hold on me No pain can't take control of me No running or hiding Just keep on fighting Hey, come on up for the breakdown It's a soul search shakedown Put your fists up or you'll end up, messed up face down Hey, it's a hard knock living But I'mma go down swingin Gonna dig in, for the fall out, ‘til you hear me singing Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Hey, come on up for the breakdown Good luck with the takedown Gonna stand up, gonna man up, ‘til you end up face down Hey, it's a hell of a living if up is all your giving Going all out, for the fall out, ‘til you hear me singing Do you hear me singing? Do you hear me singing? Can you hear me singing?
