VERSE 1
I'm a highered hand
To bring you in for justice
And put you on the stand
For all of your crimes 
Across this land.
I'm making my way
Through sun an' rain,
Drifting on my way
In rough terrian.
Two days are never the same.

CHORUS 1
You're a wanted outlaw,
There's a bounty on your head.
I'm a bounty hunter
You're worth more alive than dead.

VERSE 2
I don't stay for long
In places of danger,
I go on and on,
Through every kind of domain,
To find you once again.

BRIDGE
Slippery, and hard men,
Some i lose on the plains,
But i always win again
To even up the loads.

CHORUS 2 AS 1

CHORUS 3

You're a wanted outlaw,
There's a bounty on your head.
I'm a bounty hunter
You're worth more alive than dead.
You're worth more alive than dead.
You're worth more alive than dead.

Mirrors & Minds (Devil’s Eye Remix)

By Erika Poling

So basically, this piece of writing is trying to capture looking at oneself in a mirror, through the mind's eyes, and from another person's point of view. It's still a work in progress. The idea to combine creativity, the laws of physics, and creative writing to express both my right and left side of the brain. It's not an easy thing. Seeing yourself, while being used to 1st and 2nd person perspective writing, and then adding 3rd person perspective lyrics (about yourself; well myself) can get confusing and contradictory. It is a perfect representation of my mirrored self. ?????????

Cool Mountain Air

By Brian Hendrix

I was driving up the mountain to visit my brother and I remarked to my mother who was driving that the air must have dropped about 20 degrees halfway up. It was very chilly, and I guess this song sorta floated in on the wind, as the entire time at my brother's house I was looking to write this chorus down before I forgot it. The rest of the song built around that, and I'm really thrilled about the final result and how this came out in the end. This is a situation a lot of rural/southern people go through. People close to us don't feel stuck to the land; they feel drawn to the big city. We often wish they'd come on home, where they belong.

Straight to Hell

Imagine yourself with a shovel hitting the dirt and starting to dig you're own grave. The contemplation that come next, and the hope that the grave really isn't yours. Ultimately you know that by the end, you are going to be at the table with devil.
