The Fold 03:53
Well there's fire and brimstone But heaven's one step away Make that first step out of the aisle, son, Your first towards faith Yeah we all are sinners It's true we're all depraved But let the chosen one's testimony Sing of Grace I baptize you, my brother, into the fold Of the faker, the seeker, the weak, and the bold I feel the spirit moving It's moving all through this place And I pray that it softens your heart now And lets love have its way I baptize you, my brother, into the fold Of the faker, the seeker, the weak, and the bold Just one more verse now One last refrain One last chance for you, good sinner, To be saved I baptize you, my brother, into the fold Of the faker, the seeker, the weak, and the bold

You've never worked so hard To be so broke Your rewards are in heaven And one day I know We'll walk down the streets of gold Yeah we'll walk down the streets of gold So give what you can Take what you need Just know that the givers are guaranteed To walk down the streets of gold Yeah we'll walk down the streets of gold I'm living proof that the truth is all you need Keep that in mind as you leave your offering We'll walk down the streets of gold Yeah we'll walk down the streets of gold C'mon, let's go!

Broadway 04:27
Got your bags, got your books, got your guitar set to go Arrangements made, the plans well laid, the countertop you left your note saying, "maybe I'll see you someday" Hopped a flight, hoped you might be the one to steal the show and for a week you made your scene, sang your songs, and hung your hopes They're a selfish prayer with an intense of love You search the seats, but all you see are silhouettes like holy ghosts The lights they blind. You'd wondered why, but now you know Thanks to Broadway Thanks to Broadway Out of reach in the mezzanine are those you could not touch They're the love you left, the friends you miss, that never know how much Singing maybe I'll see you someday You search the seat, but all you see are silhouettes like holy ghosts The lights they blind. You'd wondered why, but now you know Thanks to Braodway

Rosalee 02:50
Pretty Rosalee When it's said and done May it be known that I've loved you That you've always been the one My heart skips a beat At all the lines I've drawn In my hopes to do the right thing I drew all those lines all wrong So if you're waiting Don't wait no more Just purse your lips and give the kiss You know I've been waiting for Hey baby can I have one more Oh, Rosalee you know that I am yours Hey, Rosalee Give me that evil eye Just squint and make me wonder why I'd ever tell a lie Rosie, honestly I will always try To make my mistakes set me straight until the day I die So if you're waiting Don't wait no more Just purse your lips and give the kiss You know I've been waiting for Hey baby can I have one more Oh, Rosalee you know that I am yours

Pick it up 'Cause you've been put down enough Your just wasting time with the drunks Who never, ever know when to give it up Feel the buzz Leave your system and cuddle up To the steering wheel of you truck And curse the name of the one you once loved "I need you like I need a drink I'm just too far down that road to think I've been wasted before, and now I'm thirsty for more I need you like I need a drink" Looking back You can't forget how she looked in black Like she'd be the death of all you had If what you had was most likely better off dead "I need you like I need a drink I'm just too far down that road to think I've been wasted before, and now I'm thirsty for more I need you like I need a drink" Pick it up 'Cause you've been put down enough Your just wasting time with the drunks You never, ever thought you'd become one "I need you like I need a drink I'm just too far down that road to think I've been wasted before, and now I'm thirsty for more I need you like I need a drink I think I need a drink"

Well I've got water More than you can drink I've got all the bread That you can eat And if you're looking for heaven I've got the keys Meet me at the altar Meet me at the altar Meet me at the altar And you will see I've got answers For questions so deep I've got a warm bed If you need sleep I've got a shoulder So won't you come lean on me Meet me at the altar Meet me at the altar Meet me at the altar And you will see And when the roll is called up yonder Follow me, and well walk together Meet me at the altar Meet me at the altar Meet me at the altar And you will see

Everybody has got somebody out tonight My honey puts the whiskey and bud light Her company come so easy As long as I've got he money I'm her type You know she's mine It looks like I'll be drinkin' here all night It looks like I'll be drinkin' here all night Everybody has got somebody out tonight My honey pours martinis dirty and dry She's the picture of beauty Getting prettier coincidently each round I buy C'mon I'll buy It looks like I'll be drinkin' here all night It looks like I'll be drinkin' here all night Saying "Good God, Honey don't you go Let's have another round Make 'em tall and cold It ain't last call yet I ain't out to call it quits I ain't up for going home It looks like I'll be drinkin' all night long It looks like I'll be drinkin' all night long Everybody has got somebody out tonight

Hell to Pay 03:26
Get right, or get lost And your blood will pay the cost The truth is my cross Of yours? My hands are washed But sinner, now the choice is all yours The burden falls on those that have heard The wages of sin won't cover heaven's rent When there's hell to pay These words aren't mine I speak for the divine If you think I lie Then you wager with your life But sinner, there is hope for you still In the grace of God above and his will The wages of sin won't cover heaven's rent When there's hell to pay The wages of sin won't cover heaven's rent When there's hell to pay And there's hell to pay

Caroline 03:06
She's the type of girl who only runs with bulls She ain't too popular with all the other skirts She says money ain't worth making If you ain't got someone to spend it on And Sunday's aren't worth wasting If you ain't got someone to waste them with She wants to see me tonight So who am I to say no to Caroline She wants to see me tonight So who am I to say no to Caroline Woah Caroline She's what's going on when nothing's happening As she hums along to whatever song I'm singing She says money ain't worth making If you ain't got someone to spend it on And Marvin Gaye ain't worth playing If you ain't got someone to get it on She wants to see me tonight So who am I to say no to Caroline She wants to see me tonight So who am I to say no to Caroline Saying money ain't worth making And Sunday's aren't worth wasting No, money ain't worth making And Marvin Gaye he ain't worth playing Unless you've got somebody to get it on Well do you have somebody to get it on? If you've got to find somebody to get it on Well honey, I'm your someone

There's a healing in this place And if you're thirsty come have a taste There's love for the lonely in these grapes So sing Hallelujah I've been saved I said There's a healing in this place And if you're thirsty come have a taste There's love for the lonely in these grapes So sing Hallelujah I've been saved Well everybody sing Hey, Hey Hallelujah Hey, Hey Hallelujah Hallelujah I've been saved No, It don't matter who saves your soul You can pray to the Jesus of rock n roll We all need a savior and mines in this song When the congregations sings along Let Go! Well everybody sing Hey, Hey Hallelujah Hey, Hey Hallelujah Hallelujah I've been saved
