Nashville to Kentucky
My heart it draws the line
Somewhere someone thinks of me
I just wish it was somewhere I could find

- Nashville to Kentucky, My Morning Jacket

B.B.B.B. can’t you see that I’m smiling?
Can’t you see -there’s a part of me that’s brand new?
Used to be was a part of me felt like hiding
But now it comes thru!
Deep in my heart - that’s where the knot comes loose
Deep in my heart - I will remember you

- Knot Comes Loose, My Morning Jacket (2005)

What a scene has got you sentimental
When the night comes
When the knot comes loose
All the things you put on your mantle
What a shame, what a shame
It’s old news

- Ahead of the Curve, Monsters of Folk (2009)

Well there’s endless entertainment
In thinking the world is going to end
And I’ve lived some nights convinced of it
But I keep waking up again
With my girl wrapped around my body
And a towel wrapped around my head
She says “You passed out in the bath tub angel,
I thought that you were dead
Don’t die on me, don’t tread on me
My love, my love is not the enemy
And you don’t have to be no one’s biography
Oh they try and write you down and hope you go crazy
So don’t, no don’t”

- Endless Entertainment, Bright Eyes

Now every day there’s a short intermission
While I sleep they start dimming the lights
But I’ve seen everything I ever want to see
Screaming fire in the theater, people taking their seats
Watch it all go down like a stone in the stream
You fall for your reflection, you will drown in a dream

- First Aid Kit ft. Conor Oberst and The Felice Brothers

2001
Well, I say come with that bag
And confine me to bed
Take away all my pain with that good medicine
I will be easy
I want to be easy for you
I can be cruel
But let me be gentle with you

2002
Well I say come spend the night
You can jump on my bed
Unwrap me now like your birthday present
I will, I will be easy
I want to be easy for you
And I can be cruel
But let me be gentle with you

Unknown
Well, I say come spend the night
We can jump on my bed
Unwrap me now like your birthday present
I will, I will, I will, I will, I will, I will
You will, you will, you will, you will, you will be easy
I want to be easy on you
And I can be cruel
But let me be gentle with you

2007
Well, I say come for the week
You can sleep in my bed
Pass through my life like a dream through my head 
It will be easy
I want to be easy for you
And I can be cruel
But let me be gentle with you

2009
Well, I say come for the week
You can sleep right in my bed
And then pass through my life like a dream through my head 
It will, it will be easy
I want to be easy on you
But I can be cruel
But you want me to be gentle with you

Why does my mind blow to bits
Everytime they play that song?
It’s just the way that he sings
Not the words that he says or the band
I’m in love with this soul
It’s a meaning that I understand

- The Way That He Sings, My Morning Jacket

Oh a trance is a spell
With a thrill wrapped up inside it
And try as you might to fight it
Love will get you in the end
- Lullaby + Exile, M. Ward

Moving away, crazy destiny
I’ll always be an alarmist
Who’ll jump at a chance
Anything for romance
I hope I’ll always be
What you want
- Moving Away, My Morning Jacket

And you speak of a fever, that burns you inside
As you explain to your mother, how you wanted to die
So she kisses your fingers, says “my darling by why?
When there’s so much more, and there’s so much more
Do you know there are spaces open and wide?
Oh believe me there’s days longer than nights
And you will be happy, if only you try
Oh won’t you try, oh won’t you try?”

- The Joy in Forgetting/The Joy in Acceptance, Bright Eyes

Daybreak, nightfall, long as I believe
There ain’t nothing glowin’ like this skin you’re showin’
And the keys you gave to me

- Dancefloors, My Morning Jacket

Hold on tight beginner’s mind
The wheel is spinning too
Fast to make your move
The worst must be assumed
Oh how they will try
To pull and pry
Away what you know now
Beat and beat it out
Leave a drum that makes no sound
- Beginner’s Mind, Bright Eyes

From Nashville to Kentucky,
My heart, it draws a line
Somewhere, someone thinks of me
I just wish it was somewhere I could find

Corporate or colonial
The movement is unstoppable
Like the body of a centerfold it spreads
To the counter-culture copyright
Get your revolution at a lower price
Or make believe and throw the fight, play dead
It’s exploding bags, aerosol cans
Southbound buses, Peter Pan
They left it up to us again
I thought you knew the drill
It’s kill or be killed

- Clairaudients (Kill or Be Killed), Bright Eyes
