End Of The Road 05:18
lyrics
End Of The Road © 2009 Radiation Ranch Gone but not forgotten - That’s how it stays Left behind what really mattered to be someone I ain’t Time was spent & wasted just to kill another day Is it too late? Play me “Brokenhearted” – Read between the lines God knows what she wants or what she needs to hear tonight Where’s the life I had? The one I know? The one denied? Somewhere outside… Bitter rain – Freezing cold We’re outta time – Time to get on home - Before long you know The streets are empty - The skies are closed Must be a sign – Must be the end The end of the road Nothing lasts forever – That’s what ya get It’s time to go – Let’s drink to drivin’ home again There ain’t no justice and we all get warped with time Deep inside… Bitter pain – Feelin’ old It’s another night – Another night alone - That’s how it goes Spent and jaded – No control Looks like a sign – Looks like the end The end of the road There ain’t no time left here for wasting I’m tired of waiting in line Ain’t got the patience for the life you got me living We both know you’ll be alright - You’ll be alright You’re always right The bitter end – The sweet unknown It’s a lonely ride down a lonely road But that’s what I know The bottle’s empty – The bar is closed There’s more left behind – More that we’ve got left…still left to go The bitter pain of feeling old I’m outta time - It’s time to get on home to where we all go Straight from Heaven down below Must be a sign – Must be the end The end of the road

Wish You Were Here 04:44
lyrics
Wish You Were Here © 2009 Radiation Ranch Been sittin’ round here It seems like years Wishing…hoping…praying for something to make life clear I know this ain’t no way to live, my dear It might be the whiskey It might be the pain Or it might be that I just need someone to blame I know that I can’t do this one more day I won’t be home tonight I know it don’t’ seem right But I need some time I don’t know what I’ll find Hell, you might even be right I just need some time I need some time to think I need some time to drink Time to find if I should leave behind the life I lead I just need time…some time for me Been runnin’ round here It must be 20 years Playing…drinking…living out the life that I hold dear There ain’t no better way Wish you were here

Dixie 05:22
lyrics
Dixie © 2009 Radiation Ranch Early morning – Late for the train It won’t be long before I take all the blame And there’s no time to change it No chance this all goes away Look out the window - As far as I see There’s only one way out for bastards like me But there’s nowhere to run to No lies she would still believe Smell the engine burning Steel on steel I drift & dream of things I’ll never see Hear the whistle blowing smoke through the trees I’m dying to live living to leave Early morning and I’m late again It won’t be long before they’re hauling me in There’s no time to change it No chance this will fade away Look out my window…what do I see? Another long lost soul looks something like me But there’s nowhere to run to Nothing will keep her here with me Smell the engine burning Steel on steel I drift & dream of things I’ve never seen Hear the whistle blowing smoke through the trees I’m dying to live living to leave

Nobody 06:12
lyrics
Nobody © 2007 Jonathan Powell Belly Up to the bar again - Just a bourbon to call me friend I don’t know no one sitting here but I don’t care I’m sitting quiet like I always do - Just keep the glass full & I’ll be cool And keep the crazies away from me if you can It’s been a long drive - I’m too tired to sleep I need some time alone to wind down in peace But I could tell she was lonely for some company So I tried to keep my mind on my drinking I tried pretending that she wasn’t speaking And I tried spitting on the barroom floor down at her feet I ain’t nobody you want to know - I ain’t nobody you ever seen before I ain’t nobody - Why don’t you leave me alone? Go away & let me be nobody Another day, another barmaid’s smile Here it comes again – it just takes a while But I’ve been told time & time again I ain’t no prize I don’t know why someone always thinks they know my face They want to buy me one more drink I guess I’ll take it kindly with the grains of salt there underneath Man, I ain’t nobody you’d want to know - I ain’t nobody you ever met before I ain’t nobody - I’m just a drunk at the bar Just go away & let me be nobody She said, “I don’t have the time to waste on you I can’t tell you everything that I’ve been through” Too many times – Too long – Too much to take I’ve got nothing left to say that will make you stay I disappear for an hour or two It don’t matter where – I can’t say with who I stumble in to this cold and lonely empty room I ain’t nobody she wants to know - I ain’t nobody and never will be more I ain’t nobody – I guess she walked out the door She’s gone away - She let me be She’s gone away – Gone & left me be She’s gone to stay & I’ll always be…

When I Get Home 02:51
lyrics
When I Get Home © 2009 Radiation Ranch Out on the road I hit the highway east of town The bourbon & the blacktop keep me company While I’m winding down from everything I ever had And everything I know It’s late & I’m loaded…Let me go Maybe tonight I’ll try to fill this empty bed With memories and whisky dreams (Diversion for my aching head) It won’t be long before I’m done & I find myself alone It’s late so just one more for the road Don’t be anywhere but gone when I get home I never stayed in any place for too damn long I never wanted this divide I can’t take another day of always being wrong I’ll be damned if you were right more than half the time Don’t be anywhere but gone when I get home I never stayed in any place too goddamn long I never asked for this divide I can’t take one more day of always being wrong I’ll be damned if you were right even once or twice Don’t be anywhere but gone when I get home

The End 04:09
lyrics
The End © 2009 Radiation Ranch Pick up the empty Take out the wasted Sweep up the broken & toss it away Board up the vacant Bury the rancid Pack all the baggage & stow it away It's been a long, lonely night I could blame it on anyone Or I could go for a drive I'll see more than anyone Up ahead in the distance There's a light Moving in…getting closer all the time There's a light - See the light Taken for granted Taken advantage Slap on a bandage & kiss it away Work for a living Play to get beaten A painful existence - Let's call it a day It's been a long, lonely life I've blamed it on everyone But out here tonight It seems I'm the only one Just the road & a memory And the light - See the light In my eyes – all around me Is the light Say goodnight - Say goodbye Pray for the blessed Shine the unwanted Take all the wreckage & haul me away

Radiation Ranch

Self indulgent rants & verses presented as glorified demos. Aside from a rare handful of acoustic duo performances, this was never much more than an experiment in songwriting. The round of recordings available here were often based on "scratch" guitar tracks with no click to reference so timing is merely a suggestion in places. Still, a great bunch of songs that will always be fun to hear. ... more
