Sinners 'n' Freaks - lyrics by Jesse Dunn (Dead Winter Carpenters)
It gets a little breezy on the wagon
Pretty soon you’re comin’ down with a cough
I think it’s about time I pack my bag and
Wave fare thee well and jump right off
Sometimes you’re dancin’ on the ceiling
Sometimes you’re face down in the mud
Oh mama, I’ve got this feeling
I sure don’t know which way is up
Lord, save room for the sinners and the freaks
The ramblin’ gambler lost out at sea
The brokenhearted cast out to the streets, please
Lord, save room for the sinners and the freaks
Playin’ hopscotch on the straight and narrow
Zig zaggin’ on that ol’ white line
I’ve heard it told that too much of anything
Can make any honest man go blind
Lord, save room for the sinners and the freaks
The ramblin’ gambler lost out at sea
The brokenhearted cast out to the streets, please
Lord, save room for the sinners and the freaks
Lord, save room for the sinners and the freaks

Time Off The Bottle - lyrics by Jesse Dunn (Dead Winter Carpenters)
Feelin’ lowdown
Not feeling proud
And It pains me to say these things aloud
I’ve got a wild tongue
That cuts straight to the bone
In this dark hour
I’m all alone
Maybe I could use just a little
Time off the bottle
Last night’s whiskey still on my breath
I keep flirting closer and closer to death
Don’t mistake the darkness
For the oncoming light
It’ll hide in your blind spot
Until the timing’s right
Lately I could use just a little
Maybe I could use some more time
Time off the bottle
Time to pump the breaks
Time to learn from my old mistakes
Time to heal
Time to mend
Lately I could use just a little
Time off the bottle
Temptation’s got me gripped again
There’s no tellin’
Where we lie in the end
Lately I could use just a little
Maybe I could use some more time
Lately I could use just a little
Time off the bottle

Lift Me Up - lyrics by Jesse Dunn (Dead Winter Carpenters)
Daddy, will you lift me up?
The sunlight’s pouring down
I can see the shadows trace the ground
It’s been a long, long lonely night
Tossin’, turnin’ ‘round
I don’t know to laugh or cry right now
Lift me up
Hold me for a while
Love me like a father’s only child
Mama, will you lift me up?
The moonlight’s flooding in
I can see the shadows once again
I’ve learned so much today
Climbing, crawling ‘round
I would like to lay my head back down
Lift me up
Hold me for a while
Love me like a mother’s only child
Lift me up
Hold me for a while
Love me like a mother’s only child
Love me like a father’s only child
Love me just like I’m your only child

Green Room Baby - lyrics by Jesse Dunn (Dead Winter Carpenters)
Baby’s on the balcony, silhouette wavin’
Curly hair hangin’ down
Me, I’m on the stage, I’m big city dreamin’
I’m watching them lights spin around
She’s a green room baby, standing out in the crowd
She’s a green room baby
Fiercely alive
Living her life on the road
She’s a green room baby
As cool as they come
She’s seen more than the average Joe
She’s a green room baby
Living her life on the road
Seattle come, Seattle go
Then it’s right down the line to the City of Roses
No cry, no moan
She’s a green room baby
Don’t ya know, don’t ya know
Tahoe come, Tahoe go
Then it’s right down the river to Reno we go
She don’t cry, she don’t moan
She’s a green room baby
Don’t ya know
The band’s flyin’ high and the show’s wrapping up
We’re headed for another town
My baby’s backstage, she’s sleepin’ away
She’s dreaming to her daddy’s sound
She’s a green room baby
She loves it when them lights go down
She’s a green room baby
Fiercely alive
Living her life on the road
She’s a green room baby
As cool as they come
She’s seen more than the average Joe
She’s a green room baby
Living her life on the road
She’s a green room baby
Green room baby
Green room baby
Green room baby
She’s my green room baby
Green room baby
Green room baby
Green room baby
She’s my green room baby
She loves it when them lights go down
She’s a green room baby
She loves it when them lights go down
