I’ll be right here where you left me, I won’t be hard to find
Don’t you mind him, that’s just my old friend time
And somewhere along the way I suppose you lost your mind
Lovers come and lovers go, oh I have seen my share
The tears have fallen from my eyes, there is a river somewhere
And the heartache it crushed me, and friend you were not there
Chorus
Oh you crossed that line and you found yourself alone
Maybe the bridges you burn might light your way back home
You’ve gazed upon great beauty, you’ve called her by her name
Kings have fallen to their knees beholding the same
But the sadness covers your eyes, old friend you’re not to blame
Chorus
Well you crossed that line and you found yourself alone
Maybe the bridges you burn might light your way back home
Well you crossed that line and you found yourself alone
Maybe the bridges you burn might light your way back home

Used to be kinda funny, we was old drinkin’ buddies
Oh we’d light them towns on fire, our wildest desires roaming free
Tearing down them city streets, rolling down them country roads
We was gonna live forever, come hell come highwater come
Chorus
Now ya got your 2.6. Of bourbon and your party of one
And you’re drinking alone, and it’s 4 in the morning
In a motel room
Well you ain't the first one, to feel that old lonesome
Oh I know its hard on you
And I know that 80 proof helps ya ease your mind
But we gotta get back, oh how I miss all of that
The pickin’ in the kitchen, gotta let the music back in again
Chorus
Now ya got your 2.6. Of bourbon and your party of one
And you’re drinking alone, and it’s 4 in the morning
In a motel room

Don't We Though

Don’t that wind blow so cold don’t these days grow so old
And don’t that rain just keep on fallin’ don’t it though
And don’t my words cut so deep don’t my booze keep me mean
And don’t ya keep on leavin’ oh don’t ya though
And don’t that door slam so hard don’t I crawl back to my bar
Don’t the tears fill an ocean don’t they though
Chorus
But we got a lovin’ like no other
We got love don’t we though
Don’t that sun come peakin’ through don’t a single sight of you
Set my heart on fire oh don’t it though
And don’t my words like poetry and don’t we get drunk in the street
And don’t we sail upon that ocean don’t we though
And don’t that country livin’ call don’t the leaves turn in the fall
And don’t them little ones come runnin’ don’t they though
Chorus
But we got a lovin’ like no other
We got love don’t we though
we got a lovin’ like no other
We got love don’t we though
We got love don’t we though

You Can Stay Here
04:08
|
|||
|
As they turn on the lights look to your left
Something may be waiting there for you
And all the pretty people are already gone
all the saints swillin’ down their beers
Ya know it's’ somewhere out there, out in the night
maybe she’s hidden up in the stars
the closer it gets the further it feels
when you got nothing much to show for your years
Chorus
you don’t have to go home
but you can stay here
Reach into your pockets as you get up to leave
maybe there’s something there for you to hold
the red and glowing letters point to heaven at the door
the storms of life never do seem to clear
Chorus
and you don’t have to go home
but you can stay here
you could stay here
as they turn on the lights look to your left
something may be there for you to hold
someday we may find it and it may be too late
keep memory close and keep em dear
Chorus
you don’t have to go home
you can stay here
You don’t have to go home
you can stay here
You could stay here

Forty Years On The Floor

Forty Years on the floor Hell’s broke open her doors again
Oh I was young then I guess tomorrow’s never coming no not for me
Chorus
Was it cold in the morning
did you think you’d walk back through that door again?
Was it the end of your story did you think you’d ever see her face again?
All your tears have fallen Time has gone and forgotten you and me
And all she needed was some soft place to land
Somewhere to rest easy
Chorus
Was it cold in the morning
did you think you’d walk back through that door again?
Was it the end of your story did you think you’d ever see her face again?
Was it cold in the morning
did you think you’d walk back through that door again?
Was it the end of your story did you think you’d ever see her face again?

Didn't We Dream
03:37

|
Didn’t we dream? Every kind of beauty
In the Golden Fields you found me
Yes we had Dreams the sunlight through the window
As she set upon the meadow
Yes there were dreams I swear we could taste them
Some of them we wasted, don’t time just slip away
Chorus
We had Kings, Queens and Aces
Like a shotgun out of the gates kid
We set the pace, didn’t we?
But there was always tomorrow
You can beg steal and borrow
But if ya don’t got the follow through
Didn’t we dream? Every kind of beauty
Where the mountains meet the valley
Yes we had dreams Our little ones come runnin’
The Old folks sit there smilin’
There were dreams I swear we could feel them
Some of them believed in Oh don’t time just slip away
Chorus
We had Kings, Queens and Aces
Like a shotgun out of the gates kid
We set the pace, didn’t we?
But there was always tomorrow
You can beg steal and borrow
But if ya don’t got the follow through

Turn You Into Stone
02:48
|
|||
|
If I had a dollar I’d sink it in a well
And if I had a wish well then I’d wish you well
Suppose that I had two I’d wish to start where we begun
And if all that should fail I’d wish my heart would turn to stone
Chorus
Oh my heart my heart if I could turn you into stone I would
My heart my heart If I could turn you into stone I would
I rid me of your letters but your words I never will
I tore up all your pictures but your sad eyes haunt me still
Lost my courage in a bottle and my strength it turned to tears
I told myself a lie I said it would never come to this
Chorus
Oh my heart my heart if I could turn you into stone I would
My heart my heart If I could turn you into stone
Bridge
Oh your love is like a pearl found in waters deep
Does everything you do remind you of me?
Chorus
Oh my heart my heart if I could turn you into stone I would
My heart my heart If I could turn you into stone I surely would

Baby I Know
03:38
|
|||
|
Baby I know we’ve seen some hard times,
Heaven Knows this heart of mine
At times is hard as a stone
When the river runs dry when there's no leaves left to fall
Baby I know at the end of it all
Our love, oh our love will take wings and fly
Chorus
And all that you asked for was somebody to carry you home
Someone to give you some shelter from the storm
Some place to rest easy some way to hold on
Baby I know we’ve been dealt some bad cards
It’s closing time and we’ve done last call
But I hear oh I hear them playin’ our song
Chorus
And all that you asked for was somebody to carry you home
Someone to give you some shelter from the storm
Some place to rest easy some way to hold on
Some place to rest easy some way to hold on

Lonesome Sound
03:53
|
|||
|
There ain’t no sadder lonesome sound
Than this old city tossin’ and turning in the night
A siren tears across the town
Momma I swear there ain’t a star up in that sky
Chorus
I dreamt an open plain
I dreamt a mountain stream
Some place to call my home
But here I sit in this old city all alone
There ain’t no sadder lonesome sound
A Lovers laughter drifting on the wind on a winter's night
Or children playing out in the yard
Oh brother I swear the cards you're dealt sometimes they don’t seem right
Chorus
I dreamt an open plain
I dreamt a mountain stream
Some place to call my home
But here I sit in this old city all alone
There ain't no sadder lonesome sound
Than that lost love layin’ there dying on the kitchen floor
That old t.v. and her endless humm
Oh darling I swear we don’t got nothing left to say no more
Chorus
I dreamt an open plain
I dreamt a mountain stream
Some place to call my home
But here I sit in this old city all alone

Familiar Feeling
03:48
|
|||
|
That familiar feeling
That old aching in my head
Each time I leave
Oh and the coming back again
A man will seek his comfort
in the one who holds him
but a man must see the writing
Oh the sun will rise again
Chorus
Though love may have her seasons
a feather on the wind
I won’t lose at love again
A world gone mad with sorrow
Still at this table I will sit
A loneliness unable
to break a silence we now live
Each new day a wonder
Each tomorrow but a gift
For who may know the hour
The falling of a limb
Chorus
Though love may have her seasons
a feather on the wind
I won’t lose at love again

Is It Really Any Wonder
03:35
|
|||
|
Did the earth split open? Did it drag you under?
are the eyes of the people there, are they all glossed over?
look out your window, is it all grey thunder clouds you see?
There’s a bottle at your bedside Your faithful soldier
You’ve lost this battle But the war ain’t over
You may drown your sorrows But they will wash up on the shore
Chorus
Is it really any wonder? Your heavy heart went under
you can’t starve a heart of love, fill it full of holes and set her sail
Is it really any wonder at all?
There stands your philosopher, shaking hands with your poet
They’ve been standing in your shadows, but ya didn’t even know it
Where lightning meets thunder, is it really any wonder at all?
Chorus
Is it really any wonder? Your heavy heart went under
you can’t starve a heart of love, fill it full of holes and
Is it really any wonder? Your heavy heart went under
you can’t starve a heart of love, fill it full of holes and set her sail
Is it really any wonder at all
