After The Fire
03:34
|
|||
|
I lost my way
I lost track
My heart and all my money
The shirt off my back
Then I found a place
To lie and rest
Clear the cloudy skies of my mind
Clean up my mess
I’m not sure if this is prayer, or if it’s plea
Beggin’ or hopin’ or my insanity
You’re my first clean breath after the fire
You’re that cool drink of water my soul requires
Are you the sunshine
Are you are the rain
You light my darkness
You wash my pain
You’re I love you in a world of doubt
Fill me with somethin’, I can’t go without
I’m not sure if this is a prayer or if it’s plea
Beggin’ or hopin’ or my insanity
You’re my first clean breath after the fire
You’re the cool drink of water my soul requires

Ain't A Train
03:05
|

|
Livin’ on wings and wheels
In my mind or made of steel
If you ain’t running scared and rough
Then you ain’t running fast enough for me
Behind the 8 ball ain’t always a bad place to be
You can get out of anything with a dollar and a dream
When your back against the wall your fixed
But they can’t get you from your six, you know
Maybe holdin’ on to something hurts you more than lettin’ go
It hit ain’t hurtin’ maybe it ain’t workin’, it ain’t worth it no.
Maybe that rain that brings the thunder, will help put out the flames
Maybe the light at the end of the tunnel ain’t a train
Maybe holdin’ on to something hurts you more than lettin’ go
It it ain’t hurtin’ maybe it ain’t workin’, it ain’t worth it no.
Maybe that rain that brings the thunder, will help put out the flames
Maybe the light at the end of the tunnel ain’t a train
Maybe the light at the end of the tunnel ain’t a train

Yesterday Again
02:30
|
|||
|
Let’s do yesterday again
Turn back the hands of time
And maybe in the morning
I’ll still be yours and you still mine
Let’s not worry about tomorrow
Tomorrow has to end
We both woke up here together
Let’s do yesterday again
Can you give me one good reason
Both still lying here
The fightins’ over now we’re even
We’ve said our peace we’ve shed our tears
If we’re holdin’ on to nothin’
Be nothing’ left to mend
We both know that it’s not over
Let’s do yesterday again
Who’s to say how longs’ forever
Or the time we’ll have to spend
Let’s not waste another minute
Let’s do yesterday again
We both know that we’re still in it
Let’s do yesterday again

Tell'em What It's Like
03:09

Tell’em what it’s like Bec, because they think they want to know
Beyond the lights, beyond the show, what it is
Tell’em what it’s like Bec, to live with a man who’s never there
To wonder if he even cares when he’s gone
He’s always gone, here or there
Tell’em what it’s like Bec, to be someone some love to hate
Your pretty smile and all your grace, it wears you thin
Tell’em what it’s like Bec, when I’m curled up on the floor
And I can’t take it anymore and I’m a mess
Tell’em what it’s like
They can’t hear, they won’t believe
What it’s really like to love a man like me
But your actions they speak louder than some drunk girl in the crowd
Who wants to talk about how you make it when I leave
Tell’em what it’s like to love a man like me
They can’t hear, they won’t believe
What it’s really like to love a man like me
But my actions will speak louder than some drunk girl in the crowd
Who wants to talk about where I’m going when I leave
Tell’em what it’s like to love a man like me
You can be proud to love a man like me
Tell’em what it’s like to love a man like me

Think Like You Think
03:29
|
|||
|
The good book holds the reasons
I believe the way I do
And all I needed to know
I was taught in Sunday school
But I lived like those rules
Were for everyone but me
With selfish disregard
For how it hurt my family
I staggered down the hall to our bed
She helped steady me and said
How can you think like you think
Turn around and drink like you drink
You can barely stand up when you kneel down to pray
How can you tell our children to be strong
And fight temptation in a world gone wrong
How can you think like you think and drink like you drink
Bless that girl that looks out for me
With the faith and the love of a saint
Give me the strength to make sure that she
Never again has to say
How can you think like you think and drink like you drink
You can barely stand up when you kneel down to pray
How can you tell our children to be strong
And fight temptation in a world gone wrong
How can you think like you think and drink like you drink
How can you think like you think and drink like you drink

William and Wanda
03:52
|

|
William, where you been?
I’ve been waiting on you since only God knows when
William, come on in
There’s so much to do, so glad to see you again
I haven’t been worried so much as I’ve been anxious
I haven’t been sad, for the reason in the rhyme
I haven’t been cryin’, that’s something that don’t happen
I believed you’d make it here in your sweet time
William, I’ve so much to say
I started us a garden when I got here that June day
William, c’mon this way
Meet our little boy that died on his birthday
We haven’t been worried so much as we’ve been anxious
We haven’t been sad, for the reason in the rhyme
We haven’t been cryin’, that’s something that don’t happen
I told em’ you’d be up here some sweet time
Wanda, quit pickin’ at me
I’ve been running late since 1953
Wanda, slow down just be
Hold my hand while I rock this boy to sleep
I haven’t been worried so much as I’ve been anxious
I’ve been sad but there’s redrawn in the rhyme
I’ve done a lot of crying, that’s something just happens
I hoped I’d make it up here some sweet time

One Good Decision
02:59
|
|||
|
I’ve got one good decision to make tonight
And I’ll have every chance to keep it right
I’ve got a good woman at home
So I’ll be leaving here alone
Well I’ve got one good decision to make tonight
I can smoke and I can drink
Till I can hardly speak or think
I can stumble drunk my way across the floor
I can dance and act a fool upon that bar or on that stool
Choose to do damn near anything this side of those swinging doors
But I’ve got one good decision to make tonight
And I’ll have every chance to keep it right
I’ve got a good woman at home
So I’ll be leaving here alone
Well I’ve got one good decision to make tonight
You can try to catch my eye
Wonder if I’m so inclined
To allow my better judgment to go astray
But now wonderings all you’ll do
Cause I’ve got way too much to lose
One night of so called heaven
Ain’t worth the hell I’d pay
But I’ve got one good decision to make tonight
And I’ll have every chance to keep it right
I’ve got a good woman at home
So I’ll be leaving here alone
Well I’ve got one good decision to make tonight

Dreamed with One
02:51

|
So run along with me
We can save the world
Playing make believe
Starts with a boy and a girl
Lay me down to rest tonight
Hold me close I’ll hold you tight
Close your eyes, we’ll fall in deep
Tonight I’ll meet you in our dream
Tonight I’ll meet you in our dream
So run along with me
We can change the world
Show what love can be
Just this boy and his girl
Lay me down to rest tonight
Hold me close, I’ll hold you tight
Close your eyes, we’ll fall in deep
Tonight I’ll meet you in our dream
Tonight I’ll meet you in our dream
Tonight I’ll meet you in our dream
When all our days are done
And our time has come
Know I’ve only dreamed
I’ve only dreamed with one

Someone to You
03:50
|
|||
|
I used to dream of fame and fortune
I used to wanna be a star
It was the greatest aspiration
In my naïve stubborn heart
But with the years I have grown wiser
Learned without love there’s no use
Now I’d rather be a no one
If I ain’t someone to you
I used to dream of fame and fortune
I used to wanna be a star
It was the greatest aspiration
In my naïve stubborn heart
But with the years I have grown wiser
Learned without love there ain’t no use
Now I’d rather be a no one
If I ain’t someone to you
I have traded many memories
I’ve gambled with my time
Along a jealous lonesome highway
All for a vision in my mind
I’ve lost friends and I’ve burned bridges
I’ve gone broke from payin’ dues
Now I’d rather be a no one
If I ain’t someone to you
Neon lights and crowded dancehalls
Make you wanna to go too far
Made my way out of the honkytonks
Just to learn they’re all bars
So if one day I finally make it
If this foolish dream comes true
Just know I’d rather be a no one
If I ain’t someone to you
Neon lights and crowded dancehalls
Make you wanna to go too far
Made my way out of the honkytonks
Just to learn they’re all bars
So if one day I finally make it
If this foolish dream comes true
Just know I’d rather be a no one
If I ain’t someone to you
I’d be better off a no one
If I ain’t someone to you
