Outlaw Hero’s
R. Cain 2007
(A)My hero’s have (G) always been (A) Outlaws
(A)Ever since the (G) time I was a (A) child
(A)They taught me about (G) living when my (D) father up and left (A) me
(A)I found strength and (G) solace in their (A) songs
Johnny told me how to walk that line
Don’t take your guns to town and you’ll be fine
Don’t get off that train of love for the home of the blues
For if you do you’ll cry, cry, cry
Waylon said that this might be the last time
That it’s not suppose to be that way
That a slow moving outlaw has no place left to go
But it really doesn’t matter anymore
Hank warned of that mansion on the hill
How a cheating heart will tell on you
If you’re window shopping while you’re out there Honky Tonkin’
You’ll end up on that Lost Highway
Extra Verse:
Merle tells me that my momma tried
George showed me how to drink a beer
Willie said ita all right to roll a big ol’ fatty
John Denver taught me nothing at all

Yesterday’s Tears
(R.Cain 2007)
(E) Yesterdays tears don’t count (G) today
(E) Came to my senses, I can see the (G) way
(E) You’ve wasted my time, driven me (G) insane.
(A) And yesterdays tears,(G,E) won’t work today
Seems everyday, it’s the same old thing
Where’s our love gone, where’s my diamond ring?
Well you made it all clear, you’re getting in my way
And yesterdays tears don’t work today.
(A) Ain’t a man alive who can put up with this fighting, panic, craziness, and (E) lies,
Lord knows I’ve tried
(A) Keeping me up half the night, with this psycho horror show you call your (E) life.
I’m losing my mind!
(E) Yesterdays tears don’t count (G) today
Try to get on track, spread your wings and fly
But there’s not enough money, ain’t got no time
And yesterdays tears don’t count today

Trouble
(R. Cain 2007)
(E) My Momma didn’t name me trouble
(A) But it sure did find my life
(C) And fit my (E) style
(E) I’ve always had a taste for danger
(A) I my talk to the Devil
(C) But I don’t take his (E) advice
CH
(A) I maybe down, I maybe out
I maybe something your momma warned (E) about
(A) I maybe crude, I maybe rude
I maybe someone, just for (E) you
I may flirt with the dice and ponies
And when pay day comes around
I’ll post my bail
I’ve always had a taste for whiskey
I may swim in the bottle
I don’t plan to drown

(G) I always (A7) fear the (D) dawn

(G) For I know (A7) when I wake (D) up
you’ll be (G) gone, long (A7) gone, gone again (D)

(G) My love for you has been (A7) solid all (D) along

(D) I’m not saying that the (G)…best of (A7) reasons
(G) When I’m writing up a (A7) list that’s where I (D) start

These Five Strings
(R. Cain 2008) Capo 1
(D) These five strings, those white (C) lines, and this old (D) bottle
Put a lot of miles (C) between your heart and (D) mine
Taking those (C) wrong turns on the (A) back roads leading (G) nowhere
It only (C) serves to (A) drive me far (D) away
These five strings those white lines and this old bottle
Hold me tighter than those rusty prison chains
It’s hard to be a man while I’m weight down by these shackles
I know you tried but you can’t set me free
Chorus
(Em) When you wake up tomorrow (D)
Take our picture off the wall
Give away my clothes and records
(C) Forget my name and (A) pray that I stay (D) gone
These five strings those white lines and this old bottle
Help pass the time and kill those memories
Of the lies I told, your nights alone and my heavy way of living
May the next in line not be a bit like me
Ch.

First Light of Dawn
02:45
|
|
||
The sheriff, a family and the man in the gallows
Stand waiting for the first light of dawn
The sheriff found him there
Near the border South of Tucson
He tracked him out a thousand miles across the range
He'd held a ticket for the morning train to Nogales
Had he caught it he'd a surely got away
A wife kissed her husband as he headed out that morning
She couldn't know that it would be her last good bye
She'll raise her son the best she can manage
Sell the business with the blood stains on the wall
When money’s owed it can mean a lot of pressure
He saw shadow in the back room of the store
He raised his gun but he hadn't meant to fire
A moments panic and a man fell to the floor

Brightest Star
04:19
|
|

It's felt a long time coming
But the weekends finally here, let’s take some time
Dinner in the back yard, some California wine
Sounds just right
Kick off those old work shoes
And let's forget the time
When he sun goes down
You'll be the brightest star tonight
I got the kids off with the neighbors.
It’s time, for you and I to have some fun
They're going to be there ‘til morning,
Now put your hand in mine and let’s get wild
I don't think you could be more beautiful tonight
In my eyes
This time we have's a diamond, and just as hard to find, So let it shine
Take off that old work dress, and let’s ignite the fire
When he sun goes down
You'll be the brightest star tonight

The Roses
03:33

I feel alright 'til the night comes
Lessons of the heart I never seem to learn
This emptiness I've come to know
Is a truth I battle 'til the dawn
I can't say the writing wasn't on the wall
With my back against it I didn't see at all
I'm the one to blame for the awful shape I'm in
I've thrown away the roses again
I played your love like a game
Its no surprise I couldn't win
Your love's a dangerous game
One I couldn’t hope to win
I've thrown away the roses again

(Reid Cain 2011)
Intro [Em-D]
[D] They buried him down near [G] Southwood road last [D] week
Near the old oak tree that [G] hangs over Southwood [D] Creek
now [C] don't go crying for Mrs. [Em] Jackson's loss
She [C] put him under [Em] neath that cross
for [C] all the hard times, the [G] black eyes, and a broken [D] heart
[G] he weren't the devil but he [A7] sure did play the [D] part [D7]
They had a nice little place on the edge of town
said they were planning to raise some kids and settle down
but things were getting bad behind closed doors
and what finally made her snap no one really knows
some say the hard times, the black eyes and a broken heart
[G] he weren't the devil but he [A7] sure did play the [D] part
Bridge
Am-G-Em-G...
Em-D
[D] They buried him down near [G] Southwood road last [D] week
Near the old oak tree that [G] hangs over Southwood [D] Creek
if you want to hear more of Mrs. Jackson's tale
you can go find her there at the old county jail
doing hard time free of black eyes and a broken heart
[G] he weren't the devil but he [A7] sure did play the [D] part

The Old Days

|

(R. Cain 2010)
capo 2
[A] That spring it started [D] hot as I re [A] call
I got laid off down [D] at the hardware [A] store
said folks don't come by [D] like the good old days
They just hit the box store [G] off the new highway
And I [C] know they [D] say
It's the [C] modern [D] way
And [C] things have gone to [D] far to turn back [A] now
That [G] year deso [D] lation came to [A] town
The summer never cooled and the lakes all dried
and the crops all starved in perfect little lines
And the farmers they all started looking lean
but the grass in L.A. sure stayed nice and green
Now the state it had her put in just last year
with that highway you don't have to come round here
just drive on through what once were planted fields
then hit the box store I hear they got some deals

Wolves
03:45
|
|
||
(Reid Cain 2012)
Capo 1
[Am] This old heart, is [G] beaten but not [Am] broken
These old scars, they show I don't back down
it's my time, to stand up and be counted
it's my chance, to turn it all around
[F] Now the wolves are [C] circling in the [G] darkness
closing in just outside the flames
they smell blood but in their eyes I see weakness
[F] For they know this old [G] dog won't back [Am] down
Am- C
This old mind, got books of words unspoken
These old eyes, have seen a lot of strife
it's my time, to get up and start living
it's my chance, to get it turned around
Now the man, who writes the blacklist knows about me
he's heard tales, and I'm sad to say they're true
but it's my time, to stand up and be counted
it's my chance, to turn it all around
