All Too Often

3am on a Monday
My mind won't let me sleep
T.V. blares as it lights up the room
As I search for my peace
Pride still hurts
And my ears still ring
From last night’s parade
Can't escape where this path leads
As I feel my sanity fade
Caught up in a world of lies
That I've spun on my own
Gave away my last chance
As your face burns through my soul
Never caught up in the moment
Sunrise doesn't phase
All too often when it peers through I hope for some kind of change
Caught up in a world of lies
That I've spun on my own
Gave away my last chance
As your face burns through my soul
Granite face and an iron lung
Won't help you through the night
Believe or don't where the end is
But don't smile through the fight
Caught up in a world of lies
That I've spun on my own
Gave away my last chance
As your face burns through my soul

St. Christopher
03:35

Pushing up on a load that I can't, I can't bear
Scratch my name off of the calendar, again
Sister take back to where this might end
And show me just where I stand
Roll and tumble like the river meet the waves
Sail me out just like a saint on New Years Day
And I wait for my conviction and my song
And all the words that just might turn out wrong
Sister take me back to where this might end
And wash away all the dirt from my hands
Roll and tumble like the river meet the waves
Sail me out just like a saint on New Years Day
Cast my face in silver and in gold
And turn it into a lie that should be told
Sister take me, sister take me
Sister take me back to where the fault line holds

What Remains
03:21

Roll on, it's time he said
For this dreaming, may not come true
Stand in stone like a monument
When the debt comes due
What remains
Is a lie that echoes through
What's true at first light
Is a lie by afternoon
So long, it's time he said
For this feeling cannot ring through
Faded pictures, corners bent
Still surprised by your youth
What remains
Is a lie that echoes through
What’s true at first light
Is a lie by afternoon
Time oh timeless regret
Oh the echo of all the words you said

American Thorn
04:02
|
|||
|
Stand here all alone
The road, my sin, my home
Take it as it comes
And leave it alone
Once and around, I see her
Once around and I see my face
You can't take my only
You can't take my American Thorn
Paint myself too thin
In a race I cannot win
Order up a round
And let it begin
Once and around, I see her
Once around and I see my face
You can't take my only
You can't take my American Thorn

Morning Sun
05:05

Said I'm leaving, when that morning sun does rise
Said I'm leaving, when that morning sun does rise
You know tomorrow I'll be gone
Without saying goodbye
Said I'm leaving, suitcase in my hand
Said I'm leaving, suitcase in my hand
I don't know if you'll ever (baby), ever understand
Oh when that north wind blows
You bend just like the pines
Because you're the only one who ever
Stayed inside the lines
Said I'm leaving, when that train rolls on by
Said I’m leaving, when that train rolls on by
I know it's better to be gone
Than to stay right here and try
Oh when that north wind blows
You bend just like the pines
Because you're the only one who ever
Stayed inside the lines
Said I'm leaving, when that morning sun does rise
Said I'm leaving, when that morning sun does rise
Because I know it's better to be gone
Than to stay right here and try
It's better to be gone, than stay right here and…

Two Lane Solution
04:23
|
|||
|
Had your fill of bad whiskey
Had your fill of sad songs
Time closes in, time cannot win
It just moves along
Tried a two lane solution
To every problem that came
Drifting again, the road doesn't end
And nothing is changed
Keeping time with the devil
Worn out joke plays along
Why can't your mistakes just make you strong
The turn of the season
Horizon won't change
Another state line, another lost rhyme
It all seems the same
Keeping time with the devil
Worn out joke plays along
Why can't your mistakes just make you strong
Look back and wonder
On just what went wrong
When a two step begins, problems don't end
Guitar plays on
Keeping time with the devil
Worn out joke plays along
Why can't your mistakes just make you strong

Best Laid Plans
03:32
|
|||
|
So it goes, on and on again
Like a lonely oak out standing in the wind
It might take, a little time
To wrestle apprehension across that line
Pushing through, the ebb and the flow
You're left with spinning wheels and lonely roads
Winding back those years
Can't take away your questions or your fears
Then you run, farther away
Mistaking twenty years for yesterday
Holding on, can't quit the game
Searching through the ash for someone to blame
Winding back those years
Can't take away your questions or your fears
You won't find the answer
Sifting through the sand
Separating while it falls apart
Your best laid plans
So it goes, on and on again
Like a lonely oak out standing in the wind

Road To Travel
03:25
|

|
Drive all night to get to Memphis
Next day head on to New Orleans
This road I'm on get traveled
But not quite as it seems
But, all I know is...
All I know is...
All I know is, they ain't found me yet
Haven't seen no daylight in Nashville
And Montgomery is way too far
This road I'm on gets traveled
With a feeling much too strong
Gypsy ride on the wind
Gypsy roll upon the waves
Gypsy find your way back home
Took a two lane down Highway 1
Just to see where it might end
This road I'm on gets traveled
With a feeling I can't win
Gypsy ride on the wind
Gypsy roll upon the waves
Gypsy find your way back home

Found
05:18
|

|
I don't want, want to be found
I don't want, want to be found
I feel like I just might drown
But I don't want to give up on this town
Wishing won't hold back the tide
All you've got to do is put your heels down and ride
I pull up on, pull up on my reigns
I pull up on, pull up on my reigns
I know that I'm the one to blame
But I don't want to loose my name
Wishing won't hold back the tide
All you've got to do is put your heels down and ride

Where I Belong
03:43
|
|||
|
Find your soul in a hotel drawer
And it shows you what to search for
Look around with those lonely eyes
And the answers not tried
You can take all the time you need
And it goes, far away
You can drive me back to where I belong
Shake the feeling off for one more night
With a weak heart that holds on too tight
With a face too far from home
And a memory not shown
You can take all the time you need
And it goes, far away
You can drive me back to where I belong
Insanity lingers along
In a feeling you're sure was wrong
Passing by and by, anesthetize
As you soak up another lie
You can take all the time you need
And it goes, far away
You can drive me back to where I belong
