- The Devil’s Paintbrush Road. (Annabelle Chvostek) I held on for so long. Dusty quaint old song. Things attach with glue. Live and die and gone. June flowers are so bold.
- Glory Bound. (Ruth Moody) When I hear that trumpet sound. I will lay my burdens down. I will lay them deep into the ground. Then I’ll know that I am glory bound.
- Begin. (Nicky Mehta) Hey, maybe the time. just wasn’t right to hang on. When are you gonna learn. Sometimes things turn instead of turn out. Hey, when are you gonna stand.
- Things That You Know. (Ruth Moody) It’s been a long time since you saw your home. Even those you call the closest. Have slipped away somehow. Feels like a lifetime you’ve been on the road.
- The Devil's Paintbrush Road 03:47. I held on for so long Dusty quaint old song Things attach with glue Live and die and gone June flowers are so bold on the devil’s paintbrush road The devil paints a double life and there I dare not go Live and die and gone Live and die and gone The devil paints a double life Live and die and gone I’m not the cheating kind It snuck up from behind Kicked in the door to someday I can’t get her off my mind All or nothing now Might as well be true and leave the dream of hearth and home that never will come through Live and die and gone Live and die and gone Leave the dream of hearth and home Live and die and gone Sweet wild road ahead Sweet wild road ahead If I lied and said that all was well I might as well be dead Single I was born and single I will die I’ll marry myself to the whole wide world and never make her cry Live and die and gone Live and die and gone I’ll marry myself to the whole wide world Live and die and gone Live and die and gone Live and die and gone The devil paints a double life Live and die and gone.
- Glory Bound 04:24. When I hear that trumpet sound I will lay my burdens down I will lay them deep into the ground Then I’ll know that I am glory bound I’ll be travelin’ far from home But I won’t be lookin’ for to roam I’ll be crossin’ o’er the great divide In a better home soon I will reside Hallelujah When I’m in my restin’ place I’ll look on my mother’s face Never more will I have to know All the loneliness that plagues me so So I’m waitin’ for that train to come And I know where she’s comin’ from Listen, can you hear her on the track When I board I won’t be lookin’ back Hallelujah.
- Begin 03:30. Hey maybe the time just wasn’t right to hang on When are you gonna learn things sometimes turn instead of turn out Hey when are you gonna stand and stop looking over your shoulder Me with a head full of words and not one useful expression Hey let go We with holes in our hearts were whole at the start our story began We film ourselves ’til the end try to suspend our lives in the dark Hey when are you gonna stand and stop looking over your shoulder See there’s a sun in the sky and a moon that will take us ’til morning When are you gonna stand just stop and begin this moment Hey let go.
- Things That You Know 03:49. It’s been a long time since you saw your home Even those you call the closest have slipped away somehow Feels like a lifetime you’ve been on this road With so many miles behind you you’d think you’d have left this world by now You’ve seen more than they could ever know No matter what they say you’ve earned the right to be so bold But this life it takes its toll on you Every face around you looks so tired and so old And you have not seen everything You have not seen everything But there are things that you know Things that you know From where you’ve had to go Where you’ve had to go Maybe soon you’ll find a place To call your own, to call your home You’ve walked a good mile in your brother’s shoes ’Til your legs would walk no further and your tired soles would burn You know there’s peace somewhere around the bend It’s been a long time coming and you’re ready for your turn And you have not seen everything You have not seen everything But there are things that you know Things that you know From where you’ve had to go Where you’ve had to go Maybe soon you’ll find a place To call your own, to call your home.
