Flashing Light

Today I swore I heard your voice
Neon lights tumbling dice
Memories, lost then found
A waitress smiled as I turned around
I turned around
Sparkling eyes, she replied
Honey now it’s closing time
Have you found what you’re looking for
I think I have but I’m not sure
She said that’s alright, we all get by
I’ve dreamt so long wondering why
It’s all been done so many times
Same old stories
Brand new lines (2x)
I’ll think of you
When the sun goes down
You’ll think of me
And the flashing light of our hometown
Where have you been all of these years
Neon life brought us here
Was it worth all that it seemed
Pockets full
Memories (2x)
I’ll think of you
When the sun goes down
Will you think of me
And the flashing light
The neon nights of our hometown

Don’t need your love
Don’t need your kisses
You bring me troubles
Endless pain
Love and heartache
All about the same
Hearts so cold
Tears are blue
Nothing but rain since I lost you
I ain’t never been so low
Hear that lonesome whistle blow
Wish I didn’t have to lose you
Wish I didn’t have to lose my mind
Shackles of love
Looks like I’ll be doin’ time
Gonna climb the highest mountain
Just to see that railroad track
Hear that lonesome whistle moan
Knowin’ you ain’t coming back
Wish I didn’t have to lose you
Wish I didn’t have to lose my mind
Shackles of love
Looks like I’ll be doin’ time

Even the devil gets down sometimes
Sorting through all his alibis
Nothing new under the sky
Trembling hands
A torn page
The damage done
And a worn out play
What can you say is it worth the fight
Stop giving your heart away
You know I want to but I just can’t stay
Stop giving your heart away
Even the devil gets lost sometimes
Caught in a web
Truth and lies
You don’t have to compromise
The queen has saved me from my own soul
Checkmate
Now there’s no way home
Do you believe in paradise
Stop giving your heart away
You know I want to
But I just can’t stay
Every story ends the same old way
Hearts collide
Arrows fly
Tears fall then we say goodbye
Stop giving your heart away
Sunrise shows the doubt in your eyes
Like lost hearts pleading
Just one more try
One last time
Stop giving your heart away
You know I want to
But I just can’t stay
Every story ends the same old way
Hearts collide
Arrows fly
Tears fall then we say goodbye
Stop giving your heart away
Stop giving your heart away
Stop giving your heart away

Call Me Crazy
06:38

You call me up
Just lookin’ for a fight
Forked tongue on a blood moon night
Twisted truth like I never heard
Losing my mind
Takin my turn
You’d think by now maybe I’d learn
Venom and veins
poison my nerves
Break me down with your lust and lies
A drug like you don’t compromise
Crawlin’ down the same old path
Run me down how can I forget
Took some time but now I know
Spinnin’ lies
Fool’s gold
Gotta have your love or nothing at all
Like a high speed chase through a dead end wall
Crash and burn goin’ up in flames
I’m a dead man walkin’ over his grave
Pleasure and pain all feel the same
Call me crazy I won’t walk away
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
I won’t walk away
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
I won’t walk away
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
I won’t walk away
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
I won’t walk away
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
I won’t walk away
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
I won’t walk away
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
I won’t walk away
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
Call me crazy
I won’t walk away

Separate Minds
04:02

The darkest hour
Diggin deep
Dreams of you
But I just can’t reach
Tell me darlin’
What do they mean
Memories intertwined
Held as one
By separate minds
Give me one reason
That’s all I need
I could pretend
You’re in love with me
I could be blind
Refusing to see
Holding to a fantasy
Your ways are a mystery
Simple times
Innocence
Said I do
No pretense
You believed in me
Like I do you
I could pretend you’re in love with me
I could be blind refusing to see
Holding on to a fantasy
My ways are a mystery
Standing in the stream
Hopes and dreams pass so easily
Living in between
A dream and reality
Stars are born
Planets align
Come together
And then they shine
Plain for the world to see

Let Somebody Love You

Rain Fell Down
And the creek rose up
Pour that poison in my coffee cup
Livin’ like a ghost from day to day
Rhyme or reason
It’s hard to say
Runnin’ these roads
A young man’s test
Silver eagle
I-90 West
The best of plans they could not see
The way things they would really be
Oh how I wish
You’d let somebody love you
Got the gang all tickets for the show last night
Homemade whiskey
Something just ain’t right
Head on down to the Old Saloon
Hold on tight cause we’re going to the moon
Flying like a jet
Wings on my feet
Close my eyes
Just so I can see
Wade on in to the boilin’ stream
Take my hand
Make me believe
Oh how I wish
You’d let somebody love you
Oh how I wish
You’d let somebody show you
Six quarts low
Diesel runnin’ hot
Listen to the show from the parking
If you wanna get drunk
Sit by the door
Cause everybody just want one more
Oh how I wish
You’d let somebody love you
Oh how I wish
You’d let somebody show you
Oh how I wish
You’d let somebody love you

Time Stand Still
05:20
|
|||
|
Sometimes when you’re broken
Regretting words you’ve spoken
No future in the past
No point in chasing that
Everything’s in motion
Tell me what you hear
Some choose to live in fear
Inspiration all around
Eternal here and now
Just let time stand still
Somewhere in the laughter
Somewhere in time and space
Some things forgotten
Some things cannot erase
Somewhere in the distance
Something you know is real
Everything's in motion
Just let time stand still
No beginning and there's no end
It’s so easy to pretend
There’s no hurry
And there’s no race
Settle into the human pace
Somewhere in the laughter
Somewhere in time and space
Some things forgotten
Some things cannot erase
Somewhere in the distance
Something you know is real
Everything's in motion
Just let time stand still
Time time time time
Time time time time
Time time time time
Let time stand still
Time time time time
Time time time time
Time time time time
Sometimes when you're broken
Remember words you've spoken
Somewhere in the laughter
Somewhere in time and space
Some things forgotten
Some things cannot erase
Somewhere in the distance
Something you know is real
Everything's in motion
Just let time stand
Somewhere in the laughter
Somewhere in time and space
Some things forgotten
Some things cannot erase
Somewhere in the distance
Something you know is real
Everything's in motion
Just let time stand still
Let time stand still
Let time stand still

Breaking A Habit
07:42

Bring it all back
Can you remember?
Your favorite dress
Dog days of summer
The cards were all stacked
Shadows they whispered
You gave me that look
Don’t dare surrender
Dishes in the sink
Return to sender
No time to blink
Headed for a bender
You look good in pink
Move like the weather
Bettin’ on the house
Birds of a feather
It’s never too late to take it for granted
The blink of an eye something so tragic
Take it in stride
The seeds that you’ve planted
It’s never too late
Breaking a habit
Just a few more hours
In the somber light of day
Standin’ on the brink
Give it all away
I know you’ve got that taste
It lingers in your mouth
It’ll dissipate
Or just burn out
It’s never too late to take it for granted
The blink of an eye
Something so tragic
Take it in stride
The seeds that you’ve planted
It’s never too late for breaking a habit
For breaking a habit
Breaking a habit
It’s never too late to take it for granted
The blink of an eye
Something so tragic
Take it in stride
The seeds that you’ve planted
It’s never too late
It’s never too late to take it for granted
The blink of an eye
Something so tragic
Take it in stride
The seeds that you’ve planted
It’s never too late
For breaking a habit

Road That Has No End
06:22

I’ve been listenin’ to the rhythm of my own drum
Back since day one
Trying to keep time like everyone
I've got my own way of lookin’ at the world
It ain’t a big deal
Everyone wonders how they should feel
I was told there ain't no use in fitting in
Now I believe them
Playing a game not meant to win
Lookin’ at the mountains
I see hills to climb
Let's take our time
Just beyond the clouds
There is sunlight
Let's take that ride
Traveling the road that has no end
I guess I’ve never been one for the easy way
I could not stay
Know that I loved you then like I love you today
Been searchin’ for the answers
Since I was young
That can’t be undone
The only way to learn
Was to be burned
Lookin’ at the mountains
I see hills to climb
Let’s take our time
All the way down
Standing by the ocean
I see boats to sail
We might meet a whale
Riding a wave
Just beyond the clouds
There is sunlight
Let’s take that ride
Traveling the road that has no end
La da da dee la da da da
La da dee da da
La da da dee la da dee da
La da da dee da
Someday you’ll look back and wonder
Who did you serve? Did they deserve?
Then you’ll look back and you’ll realize
Every step led to where you were
Lookin’ at the mountains
I see hills to climb
Let’s take our time
Just beyond the clouds
There is sunlight
Let’s take that ride
Traveling the road that has no end
Traveling the road that has no end
Traveling the road that has no end
