I'm looking for the lyrics to two Greensky Bluegrass songs.

1. In Control

2. Windshield

I saw them in Nashville last weekend and wow...what a show. Definitely very progressive but I can't get enough of them...Paul's mando picking has really picked up too.

I love these two new songs. I have the chords but really want to know the lyrics. I can't totally understand them in my recordings. :)

Thanks!

I LOVE those 2 new songs as well! Could you post the chords possibly?

I'd love to learn to play them!

Thanks!

Well, this page (http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/greensky_bluegrass/windshield.html) purports to list Windshield lyrics; In Control shows consistently as "not available."

When I get back from vacation I can try to get the lyrics and chords to Leap Year and Kerosine up. I was playing along to the album before I left and I've got a long plane trip back so I can work on the lyrics. If I have time I will work on the ones you were looking for.

Windshield C

Am F C
I don't know how I'm feelin' and no-one can verify
Am F C
If everything is working properly, cuz it's all inside
Am F C
But there's something on the windshield and I can't ####ing see
Am F C
Besides, no-one volunteered to drive me

Are you looking after me
Or am I laughed to be without you(?)
The years of the Satis rides
The hard times when someone dies
The heartache in broken home
Voices tale the sleepless nights
No, no, no

Someone better hide the children, I think things are getting out of hand
There's nothing for a woman to take from a man
And all the stories of our children are falling apart
Took a lifetime to protect us keep from breaking our hearts

There's a secret in the basement, I can feel it through the floor
I don't think this how I can take the weight of deception anymore
Cry out in helpless agony for the broken memories
In things I thought that I would never be
Am F G Am F
Oh, oh, oh... oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh

Those lyrics are a little off. Mr. Hoffman varies the lyrics a wee bit from one show to the next, but this is what he sings on the studio recording:

Am F C
I don't know how I'm feelin' and no-one can verify
Am F C
If everything is working properly, cuz it's all inside
Am F C
But there's something on the windshield and I can't ####ing see
Am F C
Besides, no-one volunteered to drive me

Are you looking out for me
Or am I left to be without you?
It could be years of the saddest rhymes
Like hard times when a loved one dies
Or heartache in empty home
Forced to take the sleepless nights alone, alone, alone

Someone better hide the children, I think things are getting out of hand
And there's nothing for the woman left to take from a man
And all the stories of our parents are falling apart
All the lies told to protect us and keep from breaking our hearts

There's a secret in the basement, I can feel it through the floor
I don't think this how I can take the weight of deception anymore
Cry out in helpless agony for the broken memories
And things I thought that I would never be
Am F G Am F
Oh, oh, oh... oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh

IN CONTROL (B)

Whole song except for bridge: B F# C#m E repeat
Bridge: C#m Ebm E / C#m Ebm E B / C#m Ebm E / E F#

B F# C#m E
Started fleeing comfort for something closer to the edge for the view in contempt of the conscience
B F# C#m E
Thoughts abandoning my shoes but I turned to walk towards home instead
Though I am not without weakness I will define what lies ahead

I'm not out of control

Now I'm swerving in and out to feel the force of the curve unchecked I'm fond of the danger
Nothing's really out of line everyone should make the time to find it
Will you ride beside me now or have I frightened all the words away?

I'm not out of control


C#m Ebm E
If we could focus now
C#m Ebm E B
I'm certain this would all be clearer
C#m Ebm E
Couldn't we last for a while?
E F#
What if we can't?

Everything around me now will be reduced to the ground at the cost of my foolish nature
consequence and conditioning all weighing at me to slow my patience
It could all be worth it though how the are we to know, we try...
It could all be worth it though how the are we to know, we try...

I'm not out of control
