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 RU-vid maybe one day
Im not one for socializing on the Internet or following trends. I very honestly expected this man to be far far more popular than he is. Where is everyone?!?! I mean... More for me I guess 🤷🏽♀️ underrated isn't even the word. This. Man. Can. Write. A. Damn. Song!
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.
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
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: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vH4oB8_eonE.html
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👆👆👆🙌🙌🙌💞💞💞😇💋❤

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 John Moreland Love Is Not an Answer John Moreland 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. 0:26:16 - Blue Dream Carolina 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 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
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.....
