Most of It is True 01:29
lyrics

Hey, don’t say I lie Lying to you I could never do What I’m going to share now, I swear Most of it is true Now, let me sing my song I’ll outline all the main points just for you I’ll tell all now, and I will vow Most of this is true Memory’s an old friend you rely on A closet full of costumes that you try on So choose your facts, and don’t remind Yourself of things you left behind Please, won’t you believe If you will, together, we’ll get through Do not squirm, cause I affirm That most of this is true It’s true It’s true It’s true It’s true Before you snort and laugh I tell you more than half yes, more than half is True

Running from the Law 01:53
lyrics
buy track
Tie my necktie tighter Smoke a cigarette Hot wire up somebody’s car And see how far I get If I run out of money I rob a grocery store Spend it all on gasoline A And then I get some more Oh, mama. Over rural roads I roam Oh, mama. I’m so far away from home And when they’re coming closer Yes when they’re closing in Grab a gun and fix your hat And tuck your shirt tail in Was it fun while it lasted Now, was it fun at all? Driving down these gravel roads And running from the law? Oh, mama. Over rural roads I roam Oh, mama. I’m so far away from home Runnin, Runnin, Runnin’ from the law (Running from the law, now) Runnin. Runnin, Runnin’ from the law (Running from the law, now) Runnin, Runnin, Runnin’ from the law (Running from the law, now) Runnin. Runnin, Runnin’ from the law (Running from the law, now)

Boomtown, Boomtown, Boomtown, Boomtown Many times I’ve seen them born, then wither, die or only go ghost Children grow up, leave them, and the city sadly cannot be saved This one’s different I can tell it’s gonna prosper well, unlike most Since we had the sewer built, and oversaw the main street get paved It’s going to be A new Pittsburgh A new Pittsburgh Medium sized city I want to see This new Pittsburgh This new Pittsburgh Medium sized city Boomtown I want to see a Boomtown I want to see a Boomtown I want to live in the Boomtown

Vigilante Mob 01:58
lyrics
buy track
Vigilante mob, a gang that looks to punish people for offenses Vigilante mob, takes action quickly before coming to their senses Dispenses Consequences Vigilante mob, a gang that overrides the police, judge and jury Vigilante mob, our rationality is now replaced with fury In a hurry Reasons blurry You have captured the wrong one Then explain, why did you run? It’s a hanging that I fear We know you must be guilty or else why would you be here? Vigilante mob, a gang of yahoos who have suspect motivation Vigilante mob, perhaps a channel for community frustration Disintegration (of) Civilization Disintegration (of) Civilization Vigilante mob (vigilante mob) Vigilante mob (vigilante mob) Vigilante mob

San Antonio 01:30
lyrics

San Antonio In a party near the Alamo But there is something coming we don’t know Coming into San Antonio San Antonio Having fun and flirting at this dance Single people seeking some romance Unaware of an army advance I’m here with my good friend Jim Bowie And Travis and Crockett too When a messenger comes to see me Has a message that must get through But Travis is busy romancing But we tell him to take his bow Since the messenger says it is urgent We've got to take action right now San Antonio In a party near the Alamo But there is something coming we don’t know Coming into San Antonio San Antonio Having fun and flirting at this dance Single people seeking some romance Unaware of an army advance All of us have a quick meeting Discussing the coming attack On the march thousands of soldiers We plan a defense to fight back My wife hears of what we are planning She calls me from the meeting aside She says we should leave with the family I say, I’m a man who won’t hide San Antonio In a party near the Alamo I decide she’s right and we have to go Have to go from San Antonio

Gone to Texas 02:11
lyrics
buy track
You’re broke, in poverty You have some liabilities Just write, for all to see In paint, three letters GTT You have a need to flee? From debt or from a penalty Just write this legibly A “G” a “T” and then a “T” Gone to Texas Though I’m leaving behind some invoices Gone to Texas I have started to make better choices Gone to Texas… Though I’m dodging a few obligations... I am moving to a great new nation You lack security? Your friends have scattered recently I have the remedy Just write the letters GTT Disowned by family Cut off from all society Just write this legibly A “G” a “T” and then a “T” Gone to Texas Though I’m leaving behind some invoices Gone to Texas I have started to make better choices Gone to Texas… Though I’m dodging a few obligations.. I am moving to a great new nation
