That's A Lie 04:12
lyrics
Hey, that's a lie she said And you don't lie to me Right but if we lie in bed Who's the last to leave? I give it all I got and still you don't believe If you didn't get that shot the kind you never need I see the sunset I feel free Right from the outset You had me yeah that's the final straw and I can't wait to see I hear the empty call and you reach out to me There's a whiskey thought Creeping up in me I feel it getting hot spilling out you'll see I see the sunset I feel free Right from the outset You had me

Got Lucky 04:30
lyrics
I've been wanting a hand to hold I been wondering what it's like to grow old Well I've been needing a reason to smile I've been lost and sad, and I've felt that way for a while Closed a window broke the glass Now it's open wide and the wind blows through pretty fast You came floating right on in And that changed everything, and you've got me feeling again I got lucky, cause I gave up and there you are What I need, when I needed We got lucky, looked for each other near and far Planted the seed, yeah I believe it I've seen sorrow I've seen doubt Chased my demons down, know that was about God I know I wanna be free Cuts and scrapes will heal, and new skin grows on me I got lucky, cause I gave up and there you are What I need, when I needed We got lucky, looked for each other near and far Planted the seed, yeah I believe it

If Not For Me 03:12
lyrics
If not for me There might be colors in the fall There would be dew upon the ground And I do believe There was a curse behind it all There might be beauty in the sound If not for me There might be love to stop it all There should be singing in the halls An inner peace Instead I shattered like a vase If I shout or if I call If not for us There could stillness in your walk there could be rings upon your hands If not a trust There was no reason to it all I wore it like a wedding band If not for me There might be love to stop it all There should be singing in the halls An inner peace Instead I shattered like a vase If I shout or if I call

Seeds We've Sewn 03:54
lyrics
Awful feelings Came on like a breeze Through my window through my mind Dropped me to my knees So I fell asleep, found a dream And woke up to your kiss On our floor just like before, but it never felt like this. I was always alone In our hearts In my mind and in our home Don't want to hate you, these are the seeds we've sewn We had a future there, we had a dream to keep Love like ours it costs a lot, and we paid the price so steep It led you there, it took me here, a path for you and me I gave you what you wanted and you wanted to be free I was always alone In our hearts In my mind and in our home Don't want to hate you, these are the seeds we've sewn

I Might Need To Turn To You 03:30
lyrics
I'm 48 years old, middle age I'm told I don't count my days, unless I'm getting paid halfway in the grave, got no money saved rowing for the shore, I've been here before I see what's going on, I've known it all along When I'm lost and blue, I might need to turn to you lost a fight or two, but this one feels so new I've got days I lost, worried about the cost Said I'd start again, but I know where I've been I'm a blank page now, let me show you how I see what's going on, I've known it all along When I'm lost and blue, I might need to turn to you

Bluebird 03:18
lyrics
There's a picture on my wall of places that I've been Close my eyes and try to dream find my way back there again It rains when we're together and it chases us to bed There's a storm and heavy weather And I hear thunder in my head It shouldn't have to be this way I accept my verdict I can't leave and I'm afraid to stay watched a bluebird in my tree, drive away his mate. done my share of self destruction, I can let it wait If I lose the battle now, over and again Damn the minutes of my day, so the next one can begin It shouldn't have to be this way I accept my verdict I can't leave and I'm afraid to stay

Candy Jar 04:15
lyrics
I yearned for this But I recoil from my happiness My tender heart throws a fit I fear it knows, yeah it knows...I don't deserve it So here we are our hands caught in the candy jar Yeah I know, not to fall for it a cooler head will prevail, but I don't wanna quit My life went off the rails, you know it's true And I can stew in regret, but it all led to you There was a time When my life felt like a nursery rhyme It was a peaceful space Then a storm blew in and wrecked the place So it comes to this a broken boy leans in and steals a kiss So how do we know? do we cling to it or do we just let it go?

I Hang Around (Remastered) (free) 03:27
lyrics
download
I wander aimless through the town I look for you but you're not around I asked about you where you work They kicked me out and called me a jerk I hang around Become the talk of the town I scream but I don't hear a sound Your friends lied right to my face You disappeared without a trace And your older brother beat me up He called the cops now I'm locked up And I hang around Become the joke of the town I scream but I don't hear a sound

Back To Me 04:50
lyrics
There was one and there were two. There was me and there was you. There’s a lot of ground between What I want and what I need It always comes around When we’re up we come back down And if you count all the ways We got lost and we got clean Some days I watch you slip away Always Come back to me Some ways Life gets in the way Always Come back to me It's and inch and it's a mile When you hide behind that smile I know better every time And that's the game that we play Some days I watch you slip away Always Come back to me Some ways Life gets in the way Always Come back to me I finally come around It took years to hear that sound When you fall into your bed When you try to fade away Some days I watch you slip away Always Come back to me Some ways Life gets in the way Always Come back to me

On and On 04:55
lyrics
I'm not where I'm supposed to be It don't matter anymore Doesn't seem so sad to me Like it always did before Cause there's a stillness in the air It's Carolina in the fall I never felt so happy there but I never walked this far at all And it goes on and on Every breath just feels the same It was spring and now it's fall And I've run out of things to blame Been down roads that never end painted lines carry me home and if I knew where to begin might have put that in my song When I lay me down to rest and all the worry slips away with a drink I will confess the things my lips don't dare to say And it goes on and on Every breath just feels the same It was spring and now it's fall And I've run out of things to blame

After It Got Dark 02:44
lyrics
You were 12 and maybe I was 10 You kissed my lips then you did it again Didn't know all the trouble we're in We snuck out and walked to the park Under the street lights after it got dark Your mom and dad said we couldn't be friends I heard them shouting from your porch again too young to understand our sin So we snuck out and met at the park Under the street lights after it got dark Moved to Georgia with my dad that fall traded letters said you kept them all couldn't see you, couldn't call I'd sneak out and walk to the park wonder about you, after it got dark

Without You 03:44
lyrics
Wanted so long just to hold you I just wanted to hear you voice Never meant to hurt or scold you No that never was my choice Better believe that I am true That I still belong to you Because I never wanted this To live so long without your kiss Now I sink into despair Wishing you could still be there I'm without you Gave up the ghost to keep you near me You know I regret it just the same Poetic justice that you fear me And you can't stand to hear my name Now you know it isn't true Rumors that I'm feeling blue Because I never wanted this To live so long without your kiss Now I sink into despair Wishing you could still be there I'm without you

Austin Lullabye (Go West Young Man) 04:13
lyrics
Go west young man, for opportunity Shed your comfort boy, got new places to see You weren't meant to stay in one place, too long Wear a brand new face, time to be alone Go west young man, don't get left behind Pack your bags and run, where the sun still shines You were always dreaming, making your plans Time to start again, get new dirt on those hands Yeah it's a test of your grit It ain't easy, is it boy? Best get on with it Go west young man, leave familiar behind There's a new way to live, there are treasures to find You were out of place, don't be out of time Get yourself out there, while the sun still shines Yeah it's a test of your grit It ain't easy, is it boy? Just get on with it

Christmas In Texas 03:25
lyrics
I'm a midwestern drifter and I come a thousand miles I rolled into town with a broken heart Now I wear a great big smile Yeah it's Christmas time in Texas And I'm a long way from home Sometimes I feel a little lonesome here But I ain't ever felt alone We got Willy We got Waylon We got, SRV We got BBQ and chili We got oceans of sweet tea What we ain't got Christmas time is you and me Those eastern folk are decent but I left them all behind and I wandered through the Lone Star State And the folks here treat me fine Southern hospitality it's a place to hang your hat so this Christmas down in Austin town baby you'll know that's where I'm at We got longhorns We got Cowboys We got trucks and guns you see We got Lone star beer and Christmas cheer Simultaneously What is missing round these parts is you and me I've been around the block a time Seen my share of states but this big old plot sure means a lot And these Texans think it's great If santa makes a list of spots And he heads off in his sleigh We're confident he comes here first and we're sure he'll want to stay We got Willy We got Waylon We got, SRV We got BBQ and chili We got oceans of sweet tea But we ain't got Christmas time is you and me Merry Christmas!
