After thinking about it for a bit... It's probably best that I dont literally scan the inner cover... But I will be more than happy to type the lyrics for any song... So, tomorrow, I'll type out the lyrics for "All The Way" for ya, barbs...

Abandon Jalopy – Death & Joy Lyrics
Up Til Now
You just talk to me, And you calm me down. You make me aware, That I’ve been a child. I wanna be deep. Inside those eyes. And follow the motion, Til the world is right.
Up til now, I’ve been feeling empty, Singing to the sparrows, And dodging misery. Up til now, I’ve been searching through the trees. When I can’t see the future, I’m just happy you’re here with me.
I gotta work it out. I gotta work it out. And remember that good times are made. You did something to me. You don’t make me doubt. You don’t make me doubt.
(Chorus)
When nothing feels right. When nothing feels right. When nothing feels right, You make me high.
(Chorus)
Black Cloud
When there is freedom on the line, I get a little blood in my eye. And I’m waiting on a shepherd, To carry me to my home. You don’t want what’s inside of me, A little boy disintegrates. I got a crater upside my mind, And I don’t want to change.
Black cloud, hanging over my head. And the crowd I’m running with, Has quite the reputation. Black cloud, I should be dead. Cause the crowd I’m running with, Has quite the reputation.
There’s a fever in my heart, From the funeral and the march. But I’ll take the blame, I was shooting for the stars. I got no choice in how I behave, Oh, but a choice that god made. I got one foot searching for gold, And one in the grave.
(Chorus)
All the Way
I woke up in this world a child, Now I’m just a boy, Trapped in the body of a man. The lighter side of me revealed. I’m helpless to your sex appeal. You said I do and took my hand.
Hey you, I’m with you. I’m with you all the way. With you all the way. Hey you, I’m with you. I’m with you all the way. With you all the way.
The best of us in our house, About three feet high, Asking for one more lullaby. At times it feels rough, Because everything has changed. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.
(Chorus)
You can’t really see the stars, Just the light. Like I can see your heart, Close to mine. But someone has to go first, And someone’s left to cry. One will have memories, And one will leave this life.
(Chorus)
Dragonfly
My girl pressed the ultimatum. Make sure the bucket seats don’t slide. So I took a trip from hesitation. My head is full of dragonflies. Some say that I should’ve gave a reason, Some say that I must’ve been high. A super sweet girl wanted marriage. I left town in the nick of time, Because of dragonflies.
I’m hanging my head out the window. I’m hanging my head out the window.
Lay down beside me, let’s fight mosquitoes tonight. I’m sorry that I have to go. I can’t find a good enough reason, To stay at home.
One way we can all get to heaven, Punch it for the county line. Head west with a girl from nowhere, Pick her up and let her ride. Newports smoking on the dashboard, I got a big bag in the fender. Looking at half a needle, Deny that I’m out of gas.
(Chorus)
Hold Tight
A miracle you are. One is all I can stand, As I climb out of your bed. I tried to tear it apart, I tried to break it like glass. But my heart is screaming ‘yes’.
Give in and hold tight for the love ride. I didn’t know you would step on the gas. Give in and hold tight for the love ride. Oh, this man is falling fast.
I didn’t wanna pass, I didn’t think it was safe, Broken lines on the highway. I tried to make it all stop, I tried to give it a rest. But it’s time to yield at last.
(Chorus)
Everything I am and everything I’ve done, Has come down to only one. A diamond in the rough, A diamond in my hand. Put it on your finger.
(Chorus)

Death & Joy
I have a brother who is not afraid to fly. But I worry all the time that he will stay alive. He’s done a lot of stuff that makes me wince. He’s telling stories and dancing on the fence.
Life is a place between death and joy. Life is a place between death and joy.
I had a single mother, who had enough sense, To make us do the chores so she could pay the rent. We had to act like men when we were just boys. We had some discipline before we had the toys.
(Chorus)
I had a big mama that worked and toiled. For 54 years she was married to a boy, Who built their house with his shoulders and his hands. My big mama couldn’t wait to see him again.
(Chorus)
Love Has a Way
If you have the heart of the lion, Prepare to wear the scars. Be careful of what you wish for, And don’t forget who you are.
(cause) Love has a way of filling your heart. Love has a way of tearing it apart.
I got one word about desire. It’ll stay shiny like gold. It’ll deal you a crashing blow, And, keep you coming back for more.
(Chorus)
I’ve been looking for my soul one. I only have this to say. I never thought I would be jaded. I just ended up this way.
(Chorus)
It’s more then a reason, I’ll take this to my grave. Love is the reason to endure, All the pain.
(Chorus)
Summer Don’t Leave
I’m missing your light. Your halo came untied. You were such a pretty baby, Walking by my side. I saw it in your eyes, Cold water on the fire. No Glory for dedication. Those moments have expired.
Hey, please summer don’t leave. You’ll strip all the trees. You’ll take away my heart and warm days. You’ll pull color from my dreams. Oh, you’ll leave me to bleed, And, lay me softly on the ground.
I’m shaking all the time. I’m taking a beating in my mind. I’m crazy lost in the river of time. Make me a cross and I’ll bare it anytime.
(Chorus)
I Won’t Be the Same
Well, it breaks my heart. The devil wouldn’t let you go. And, he took my star away. I should have held you close, But, I had too much room to grow. Now I won’t get a chance to say, That I know I made mistakes. I let the magic go in my haste.
Now, when I play my song, The rhythm’s clearly gone. And, I don’t have the words to say. Can you hear my thoughts, About life and living on? Cause I won’t be the same, Now that you’re gone.
Hush my mouth, I didn’t mean to let you down. Now you won’t be around for me to save. I get to go home in my car. But, the radio lost a star. There’s a new meaning in the words, That you gave.
How could you leave me stumbling’ around? I should have never let you jump out.
(Chorus)
Willing
Heaven is here on earth, But fire is close behind. Do whatever it takes, Just leave yourself aside. People shake their heads, And then go back to their lives. (yeah) Everybody wants to be saved, But no one is willing to fight.
But I, I’m willing to die. And if love is not enough, I’ll use my gun, For Heaven.
Oh I, I’m willing to die. If love is not enough, I’ll use my gun, For Heaven.
