Wanderin' Eyes 02:59
lyrics
buy track
Every day, all my life Wish to wake in her arms Pray the Lord every morning He will keep her safe from harm While we danced last night I looked at her, she looked away Lord, it gave me such a fright To think that she could ever stray CHORUS: Her wandering eyes Oh, they tell so many lies She believes I am blind To her wandering eyes This old world is going crazy Darling, she keeps me alive Oh, our love is drunk and lazy If she goes I may die Chorus

Blame It On The Blues 03:25
lyrics
buy track
Everybody knows what everybody’s talkin’ about Nobody’s discussin’ who he’s talking to Lines are crossed, minds are filled with doubt Same old comes around no matter what you do CHORUS: My love for you forever never could change These games we play, where do we lay the blame? On the blues, lay the blame on the blues You can knock me down, run my name around Everything you tell me I’ve already told myself I go out of my mind, friend, I do get down I am walkin’ a road you’ve traveled yourself CHORUS Days and days of the same weary routine About six o’clock the water turns to wine Time is flyin’, I’m havin fun’ it would seem Still we find one another at times troubled in mind

I'll Wait For You 04:44
lyrics
buy track
What more might I say It’s more or less the same My intent is pure and true So I’ll wait for you I’ll rearrange the words Countless times I’m sure you’ve heard I know they’re nothing new But I’ll wait for you CHORUS: I’ll wait for you, for you and you alone ‘Cause no one else I’ve known could hold a candle next to you I’ll wait for you right here by myself I don’t want nobody else, I’ll wait for you I drank too much last night Sometimes it just feels right But once the music’s through I’ll wait for you But your mind’s not made up yet When it will be, I can only guess It’ll come out of the blue So I’ll wait for you CHORUS I will rise with the sun one Saturday Drive down the dirt lane Watch our families fill the pews And I’ll wait for you By the preacher we will stand I’ll take your shaking hands Make my vows and say “I do” Then I’ll wait for you Chorus

Wait For Tomorrow 02:20
lyrics
buy track
How I’d like to live my life right and in the open Say hello to a dear old friend and feel a bigger dose of emotion I need somebody by my side, I need that sort of devotion If I’m long alone I sink right down like a boat on a cruel ocean CHORUS: Wait for tomorrow, always tomorrow Too much for just one day Take it all in, all of it in Keep those ambitions at bay The ones I love are all around, I see them when I’m able I treasure the times we gather ‘round a Holiday dinner table A walk in the woods would do me good if I could only get away We move so fast, the time does pass, and we aren’t here to stay Wait for tomorrow, more tomorrow Abundance every day Take it all in, all of it in Come whatever may

Black Smoke, Black Smoke 03:32
lyrics
buy track
You can try to live your life without sin or vice pretending you know it all But if you go to the grave knowing no shame you’re better than the rest of us all CHORUS: Black smoke, black smoke, wherever I roam It shrouds all the happiness here Black smoke, black smoke, wherever I roam Black smoke all the while through the years Don’t look to the sky to make up your mind, you can run, but you cannot hide ‘Cause the days of a man are few as is it stands and fewer with blood on his hands CHORUS When I’m down in the ground and there’s flowers all around I hope I’ll finally be found When it’s all said and done we’ve only just begun, the weight gets lighter by the ton

Too Far From Home 03:31
lyrics
buy track
We were raised in the flyover land When the going gets tough, the folks, they lend a hand But they never thought it would get this bad We may lose, but we should never be here again CHORUS: Too far from home, that’s what it seems to be Spending on all our money until it’s gone, like it grows on trees Too far from home, that’s what it seems to be, who the hell are we? Man is a river, gonna go where he can go The river is the giver, and she’s runnin’ outa’ room to go These days we back up lies with facts Telling the truth would be a revolutionary act Chorus

The Automobile 02:43
lyrics
buy track
The automobile will do us all in Shooting for oil and killing all the time Thirty souls were lost on the road to pray Drove over a well-placed landmine The automobile in one hundred years Built and leveled cities to the ground Was the time a union man earned an honest wage Owned a home, went to work and could be proud The automobile gave the mountains to fools Innocent lives are ended along the road Now concrete cuts through rivers and woods All the gold was hauled away long ago I drive an automobile made in the USA By a corporation stationed in Japan Henry Ford could not know of the awful toll His need for speed would demand

Angelina 02:47
lyrics
buy track
The morning came too soon, and I still don’t understand Why I dream of fireflies in Angelina’s hand Barefoot in the backyard, the grass between her toes Why I let her slip away the good Lord only knows REFRAIN: Angelina, Angelina Oh my sweet Angelina The bed is cold, my body burns, I struggle through my dreams Awake, but never rested, I’m never what I seem Mornin’ fog so thick with doubt until the sun burns through And I see a part of Angelina in everything I do REFRAIN The road goes on forever, so I know I can't give in I keep my eyes wide open, my thoughts are where I’ve been If I ever catch another firefly I won’t hold her so tight She’ll fly from my fingertip, return to the night The moment your love crumbles and you know it has to end You watch your dreams unravel and vanish in the wind Refrain

Where Did All The Money Go 03:42
lyrics
buy track
Senators are sittin’ around, making predictions The man who leads the race won’t be winning Every person on earth suffers addictions Many different endings to the same beginning CHORUS: All I hear is hearbreak All I see is loss Where did all the money go? When did it begin? Who played the fool? Will it never end? Young man steals a bag of groceries Sunday night in San Rafael Runs out to the parking lot, pulls a knife on the help Shoots his pistol at the freeway holed up in a cheap motel Stranded folks for miles and miles wish him dead and gone to hell CHORUS Now and then I get the feeling wanna hold on tight, never let go See my loved ones livin’ easy, free to rest, free to roam Do we make the right decisions, in the end we never know Dream of lonesome whistles cryin’ comin’ here to take me home Chorus (2x)

We Were Satisfied (Acoustic) 02:50
lyrics
buy track
I miss those days of summer heat The blacktop boils and burns your feet We’d drink iced tea and search for shade We never knew we had it made REFRAIN: We were satisfied watching the sun fall from the sky We were satisfied looking back on days gone by Times were tough, but we’d find a way Always lookin’ toward better days The rains would come, but we’d hold on tight And help each other put up a fight REFRAIN: We were satisfied with our loved ones at our side We were satisfied looking back on days gone by If you ever go back your old home town Talk to folks and take a walk around Friends and family you dearly miss Take a moment to reminisce REFRAIN: When we were satisfied with our whole lives before our eyes We were satisfied looking back on days gone by We were satisfied thinking time was on our side We were satisfied looking back on days gone by

Ode To The Rapture 02:55
lyrics
buy track
Walk into a room, I want it all May 21 has come and gone, praise God Such a better place the world could be Care for where you are, forget eternity CHORUS: Every year of my life Has been the best I’ve ever known Wonder when it ends, turn around Count back down, start again We live of our lives in our minds Close the shutters pull the blinds, don’t share nothin’ Foolish hearts make the rounds Set sail with the wind and run the ship aground CHORUS Wake up in the night, I cannot rest Every day another test, one more test Certain friends you may try There’s daylight left to burn, and your well runs dry

Never Get Away 02:42
lyrics
buy track
If you’re gonna run with the devil better have a friend Someone who can hold you til the very end Never be a problem that they can’t mend Don’t let em get away, never get away from you REFRAIN: And we know how it goes, every day can be a fight So don’t go it alone, take a chance on love tonight She is pure and together full of love and warmth Like a favorite book with all its pages torn Fills me with a feeling I just can’t ignore Won’t let her get away, never get away from me. We will feel the thunder roll and the fires burn Hand in hand together we will try to learn Love is given freely but trust is earned Won’t let her get away, never get away from me Refrain

Yesterday's Blues 03:31
lyrics
buy track
If you’re down on the bottom, and your stars just ain’t fallin’, don’t be ashamed Or maybe you’ve got lots of money, I don’t have much, but its plenty Cause its all the same, its just a game Refrain: Yesterdays Blues Yesterdays Blues Yesterdays Blues With the confidence of a whiskey jug, they take their chance, they push their luck, And some won’t stop til their in the ground And as we gather round the graves, songs of sorrow we will sing, as the memories fall like driving rain For some, time won’t ease the pain Refrain To know the dark is to see the light, sick to stomach and full of fright Feel it sting, hear it ring The years roll by, become the past, we think of things that slipped our grasp And boy they’re gone, they’re gone for good If I could change it you know I would Refrain
