Small stakes
Give you the blues
But you don't feel taken
Don't think you've been used
'Cause it's alright Friday night to Sunday
It feels alright keeps your mind on the page
Oh yeah small stakes ensure you the minimum blues
But you don't feel taken and you don't feel abused
Small stakes tell you that there's nothing can do
Can't think big, can't think past one or two and alright!
Yeah alright!
Me and my friends
Sell ourselves
Short but feel
Very well
We feel fine
Aw we feel fine
And small time danger in your midsize car
I don't dig the stripes but I'll go for har mar
The big innovation on the minimum wage
Is lines up your nose but your life on the page so c'mon
Tell me I'm wrong
Small stakes
Will kill me
When you're stuck
In back of the line
It feels alright Friday night to Sunday
Aw it feels alright keeps your mind on the page
And small stakes bring you where you're caught in a rut
You feel so uptight you just want to throw it all up
And small stakes leave you with the minimum blues
Can't think big, can't think past one or two so c'mon
Give you the blues
But you don't feel taken
Don't think you've been used
'Cause it's alright Friday night to Sunday
It feels alright keeps your mind on the page
Oh yeah small stakes ensure you the minimum blues
But you don't feel taken and you don't feel abused
Small stakes tell you that there's nothing can do
Can't think big, can't think past one or two and alright!
Yeah alright!

Aw we feel fine

Aw it feels alright keeps your mind on the page
And small stakes bring you where you're caught in a rut
You feel so uptight you just want to throw it all up
And small stakes leave you with the minimum blues
Can't think big, can't think past one or two so c'mon
The Way We Get By
composer: Britt Daniel
lyricist: Britt Daniel
We get high in back seats of cars
We break into mobile homes
We go to sleep to shake appeal
Never wake up on our own
And that's the way we get by
Way we get by
And that's the way we get by
Way we get by
We go out in stormy weather
We rarely practice discern
We make love to some weird sin
We seek out the taciturn
And that's the way we get by
Way we get by
And that's the way we get by
Way we get by
We found a new kind of dance in a magazine
Tried it out it's like nothing you ever seen
You sweet talk like a cop and you know it
You bought a new bag of pot, said let's make a new start
And that's the way to my heart
The way to my heart
That's the way we get by
Way we get by
We get high in back seats of cars
We put faith in our concerns
Fall in love to down on the street
We believe in the sum of ourselves
I said that's the way we get by
We break into mobile homes
We go to sleep to shake appeal
Never wake up on our own
And that's the way we get by
Way we get by
And that's the way we get by
Way we get by
We go out in stormy weather
We rarely practice discern
We make love to some weird sin
We seek out the taciturn
And that's the way we get by
Way we get by
And that's the way we get by
Way we get by
We found a new kind of dance in a magazine
Tried it out it's like nothing you ever seen
You sweet talk like a cop and you know it
You bought a new bag of pot, said let's make a new start
And that's the way to my heart
The way to my heart
That's the way we get by
Way we get by
We get high in back seats of cars
We put faith in our concerns
Fall in love to down on the street
We believe in the sum of ourselves
I said that's the way we get by
Something to Look Forward To
writer: Britt Daniel, Miles Zuniga
Now Carole Don't Get Ahead Of Yourself
Don't Say Nothing Right Now
I'll Take It Anywhere You Let It Go
Everything Moving So Fast
It'll Take You A Place Where You Can't Get Back
And I've Seen It Enough
You Gotta Make Me Shut Up
So There's Something To Look Forward To
Gimme Something To Look Forward To
Your Mistakes Your Merciless Eye
Your Chicago Manual Of Style
It Only's Got To Go Just As Far As We Let It Go
So Carole Let Me Know
So Many Things We Could Say
So Many Things We Could Let Get Out
But You Stay In Instead
Some Things Are Best Left Unsaid
Gimme Something To Look Forward To
Don't Say Nothing Right Now
I'll Take It Anywhere You Let It Go
Everything Moving So Fast
It'll Take You A Place Where You Can't Get Back
And I've Seen It Enough
You Gotta Make Me Shut Up
So There's Something To Look Forward To
Gimme Something To Look Forward To
Your Mistakes Your Merciless Eye
Your Chicago Manual Of Style
It Only's Got To Go Just As Far As We Let It Go
So Carole Let Me Know
So Many Things We Could Say
So Many Things We Could Let Get Out
But You Stay In Instead
Some Things Are Best Left Unsaid
Gimme Something To Look Forward To
Stay Don't Go
writer: Britt Daniel
Keep believing the things that you tell yourself
Everyone needs something they can tell themselves
To hold on to cause after all of it's said and done
Confession is stay don't go
Ooh it is
Ooh now stay don't go
At times you find that the truth is the best way out
Sometimes telling the truth is the best way out
And it's the wrong words that make you prick up your ears
When later alone
Confession is stay don't go
Ooh it is
Ooh now stay don't go
Everyone needs something they can tell themselves
To hold on to cause after all of it's said and done
Confession is stay don't go
Ooh it is
Ooh now stay don't go
At times you find that the truth is the best way out
Sometimes telling the truth is the best way out
And it's the wrong words that make you prick up your ears
When later alone
Confession is stay don't go
Ooh it is
Ooh now stay don't go

Paper Tiger
writer: Britt Daniel
I'll Never Hold You Back
And I Won't Force My Will
I Will No Longer Do The Devil's Wishes
Something I Read On A Dollar Bill
A Paper Tiger Can't Tell You Where He Stands
We'll Go Back Tonight The Way That We Came
I'm Not Dumb, Just Want To Hold Your Hand
So Alright
Where We Want To Be
And Alright
What That We Could Be
We Could Go Kick Down Some Doors Together
Stay Out Til Morning Sharp As Knives
The New War Will Get You It Will Not Protect You
But I Will Be There With You When You Turn Out The Light
Said I Will Be There With You When You Turn Out The Light
I Will Be There With You When You Turn Out The Light
And I Won't Force My Will
I Will No Longer Do The Devil's Wishes
Something I Read On A Dollar Bill
A Paper Tiger Can't Tell You Where He Stands
We'll Go Back Tonight The Way That We Came
I'm Not Dumb, Just Want To Hold Your Hand
So Alright
Where We Want To Be
And Alright
What That We Could Be
We Could Go Kick Down Some Doors Together
Stay Out Til Morning Sharp As Knives
The New War Will Get You It Will Not Protect You
But I Will Be There With You When You Turn Out The Light
Said I Will Be There With You When You Turn Out The Light
I Will Be There With You When You Turn Out The Light

Took a river and it wouldn't let go
I want you to stay and I want you to go
I took a river and the river was long and it goes on
I want to be there tonight
I want to get there but it's just out of sight
I took a river and felt so slight so hold on
So hold on
Hold on
It goes on
I took a river and the river was long
I want you to stay course I want you to go
I took a river and the river was long and goes on
It goes on
Ooh it goes on
It goes on
I want you to stay and I want you to go
I took a river and the river was long and it goes on
I want to be there tonight
I want to get there but it's just out of sight
I took a river and felt so slight so hold on
So hold on
Hold on
It goes on
I took a river and the river was long
I want you to stay course I want you to go
I took a river and the river was long and goes on
It goes on
Ooh it goes on
It goes on
