Hills of the Borough 04:20
lyrics
On the old fire tower you can see far and wide you can't get much higher within the county line Muddy water flows shallow and slow who knows what's buried on the banks of the old Eno On the steps of the courthouse you can sing your song but when the bell strikes noon you won't sing for long In the hills of the borough stories are told some are long others are old How I long just to hear them again Out in the hills of the borough When you're dead and walking on down the road you done too much talkin' on the banks of the old Eno Cause now the town knows what you down and you're dead and buried alongside the setting sun
2.
To the tavern 03:25
lyrics
Tonight I will go to the tavern to have a pint of confidence and pride I don't think I can I can be the man that you want me to be without some help from my friends Jack calms me down and brings comfort to my soul and the Captain always drives me home to you My friends they all know I don't know how to show my feelings to those close to me When I stumble home in the morning and I can't hardly grip on the rail, well don't think that I don't care Jack calms me down and brings comfort to my soul and the Captain always drives me home to you My friends they all know I don't know how to show my feelings to those close to me

Lost Wallet Blues 02:58
lyrics
I reached in my pocket going for my wallet all i find is lint Why am I not spending more time defending this piece of mind Got the lost wallet blues what am I to do all I have left is change I find it unfair but I really don't care Does anyone find it strange? I left it some place that I can't recall but I swear I've been there before I didn't look too hard in fact I didn't even start I lost my lost wallet blues My wallet's camouflage it blends in with the sand, the forest floor, and the trees I dropped it in the leaves now it's gone for good back where my money should be Got the lost wallet blues what am I to do all I have left is change I find it unfair but I really don't care Does anyone find it strange? I left it some place that I can't recall but I swear I've been there before I didn't look too hard in fact I didn't even start I lost my lost wallet blues

Southbound 03:00
lyrics
I'm going southbound away from trouble and treason I've got my reasons to get out of this old town I'm going southbound I've been far and have seen faces dirty and clean been west of kentucky I'm going southbound Gave it a chance in the wild west I must confess that I don't stand a chance I'm going nowhere and the sun's behind me I'm going back to where I belong well I'm going southbound Gave it a chance in the wild west I must confess that I don't stand a chance I'm going southbound away from trouble and treason I've got my reasons to get out of this old town I'm going southbound
