THIS ROAD NEVER ENDS
Stuck down Tucson
coming form Houston
made it to the station, gonna
see you be 9
but that train kept a
rollin', on through the night.
Holed up in Billings
Ain't got much money, at
least compared to most.
I can't afford to gamble, on
what's comin' next.
Its been 3 long days now, and
I ain't had no rest.
Chorus: Well I try and I try, to get home to you.
and I cry and I cry, because I'm so blue.
Why oh why, do I keep blowin' in the wind?
I guess this road's my home, and this road never ends.
Found myself in Kansas City
Is this Kansas or Missouri,
and how do I get back.
stuck my thumb out, to try
and catch a ride
but I woke up in Mississippi
How'd I wind up in Chicago
I told myself the last time,
I wouldn't wind up here again.
I look across the water, no
ferry do I see
once again I'm stuck here waitin',
and there ain't no one but me.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
GIVE
These cowboy boots are worn and these faded jeans are torn
and I'm lying on the horn of my Chevrolet
I've got bruises by the mile and I just can't seem to smile
and its been such a long while since I got paid
But I think I found a way to make this a better day and
shine a helpful light on how I live...
Give
That’s right I give, give and then I receive, its easy and
it helps me create positivity
oh I just give, give and then I receive, so if you're stuck
or outta luck just try it out and you will see.
I had been livin’ on the road I didn't have no where to go I
was feelin' pretty low about myself
the drinkin’ I would do and the money I went through, the
end was comin’ soon or so I felt
but opportunity arrived, as soon as I realized, there is
purpose in this crazy life I live...
Give
And so I give, give and then I receive, its easy and it
helps to create positivity
oh I just give, give and then I receive, so if you're stuck
or outta luck just try it out and you will see.
Now when the days start getting long, and I wonder what went
wrong, I just think of this song and look around
there's something I will find, then I make up my mind to be
kind and make some common ground
I screw the cap onto the booze and then I pull on my boots
and I show the world a better way to live
Give
That’s right I give, give and then I receive, its easy and
it helps me create positivity
oh I just give, give and then I receive, so if you're stuck
or outta luck just try it out and you will see.
MY TOWN
I was born up in the valley
with a jack knife in my hand,
this land and these people taught
me how to be a man.
I grew up workin cattle,
while my buddies worked at the mine.
my brother he's a hunting
guide and a logger in the summer time
I ran off to the city like a
hobo and hunkered down, but
one thing I’ve never
forgotten is that this is my town
this is my town….
Chorus: It’s my town, and I loved livin every day,
of my youth
this is my town, and this is where I'm gonna stay, until
its through
no
there ain't no better place, anywhere around, no, these are my people, and this
is my town.
we work hard for a livin
sometimes til our hands bleed,
we ain't got much but what we
got is all that we need.
we help each other when times
get tough and when the crops go brown,
same for when the floodin’
came and when the mill shut down
this is my town… this is our
town…
(Repeat Chorus)
you can say that we’re simple
but it ain’t as simple as
that
we’re a damn smart bunch of
people
we know the simple life is
where it’s at
(Repeat Chorus)
PERFECT COMPANY
It’s already if you think
that I'm wrong
I don't care if I’m in this alone
in the end you will finally
see,
we're both leaves on the same
tree.
I don't think that things are
goin to fast
I don’t think that this
feeling will pass
in the end you will finally
know
I’ve never felt this way at
all…
Chrous: when you shake that hip and you crack that
smile
oh my lord it just drives me wild
and I think of all the things we could be….
when you shake that hip and you crack that smile
oh my lord it might be a while
before I find such perfect company, yeah!
you got the lovin baby that i
want
It doesn’t matter if you know
it or not.
come on baby won't you be
mine..
don't deny that this feels
right
and in the end you will
finally see
things will work themselves
out naturally
(Repeat Chorus)
A LIFE AGO
a life ago, I was a man you
wouldn’t know
and the dirty things I've
done, I must have been so blind
me and my evil ways, were
workin’ towards a grave
but I was saved.
Chorus: you and me, we made light when we couldn't
see the road
now I need you to believe, in the person I've become
from the one you used to know. ....a life ago.
the sun will rise, behind the
darkness in my eyes
so forget these old tattoos,
and scars that give a clue
of the way things where back
when, I was a different man
and now I say to you
(Repeat Chorus)
solo
(Repeat Chorus)
Please believe, I need you to
believe.
in the person I've become,
from the one you used to know.
....a life ago.
....a life ago.
STAND AND BE COUNTED
There's an empty pack of
cigarettes on the dash of my Ford
There's two black bags under
my eyes, man this livin' is chore.
I carved my name into the bar
with my trusty pocket knife
But nobody knows my face, girl
this ain't no kinda' life.
Then I saw these words,
written on the bathroom stall
"All you got to do in
this ole world, is remember to stand tall"
Chorus: So take my hand, and leave that whiskey in
the bottle
We'll be half way home when the sun comes up tomorrow.
Don't you worry 'bout the Devil wrapped up inside your
head.
Just stand, and be counted….. 1-2-3-4.
We been drivin’ this old
road, lookin' for something that’s real
From Texas
to Montana
But there'll be arms open
wide, when we get to where we're goin'
At least that's what I hope,
cause there ain't no way of knowin'
But at least I’ve seen the
light, and I've heard the call
"All we gotta do in this
ole world, is remember to stand tall"
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge: solo
(Repeat Chorus)
QUEEN OF MY HEART
I cannot hide this anymore, it’s
too much to ignore
It's time I finally let you know, how I have felt since the get-go.
I've thought about you every day, wished so bad you'd look my way
you wouldn't give me a second glance, and all I wanted was a chance.
oh, how I hoped you'd take the chance...
Chorus: oh and you, you could have been the Queen of my heart
It's time I finally let you know, how I have felt since the get-go.
I've thought about you every day, wished so bad you'd look my way
you wouldn't give me a second glance, and all I wanted was a chance.
oh, how I hoped you'd take the chance...
Chorus: oh and you, you could have been the Queen of my heart
I would've given you everything
And saved you from this pain
but you turned and you walked away,
now there's nothing I can do
ohhh, cause you don’t love me..
you didn't see, you didn't stay, you found love and I slipped away
and then I heard about the news and all the hurt that he put you through
now i'm here at your side, to tell you things will be alright
if you would just look in my eyes, you would see a new sunrise
if you would just look in my eyes...
(Repeat Chorus)
oh but this is where I fold
And I take of my crown
I’m tired of being bound
By this feeling I have deep
down
but I’ll love you anyway
That ain’t gonna change
There’s no way to undeal
The hand you’re dealt the
cards you played…
Chorus: You could've been the queen of my heart
I would've given you everything
saved you from this pain
oh girl, I've loved you from the start
and there's nothing I can do
but still love you
WHEN LOVE FADES
when love starts to fade
it makes embers out of
flames, ain't that a shame?
when love starts to fade
it leaves you longing for
when it was new and how the spark lit up and grew
until it raged out of
control, burned your heart consumed your soul
ohhh, I can’t let go
Chorus: let's light it up again, throw a match
into the wind
close our eyes and pray it lands
in the middle of a second chance
and catches fire
when love starts to fade…
leaves you searching for a
trace …of yesterday
when love starts to fade
when everything we ever were
has all but crashed and all but burned
and all we're left with now
is dust and the ashes of what once was us
ohhh, I can’t let go
Chorus: let's light it up again throw a match into
the wind
close our eyes and pray it lands
in the middle of a second chance
lets
light it up again we’ll make it right we’ll make it last
we’ll
let it rage and then we never, ever will look back again.
look in to my eyes, do you
see the truth?
I have realized this is what
I want to do
we can do it, I know we’ll do
it, c’mon lets do it!
(Repeat Chorus)
DON’T LET IT GO
There was love in your face
when you found the words to say
you didn't have the strength to
go on
I could see it in your eyes
and I could feel it in your soul
now I’m asking baby please
don't let it go
Chorus: don't let it go, wait until tomorrow
find a way to make it through the night
don't let it go, I promise that forever
I’ll be by your side, don't let it go.
in this life in many ways i
have been naive
but I’m starting to realize
the things i've done
I’ve faced my fears and the
consequences of the seeds that I have sown
now above all things, i just
want you to know
(Repeat Chorus)
tables turn and bridges burn and
even stars will fall
but take these words and
understand we can make it through it all
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
I’ll be by your side..
I've been runnin', I've been
hidin', down this winding road
headed anyplace that’s far away
from home
but when I sleep I dream of
you and it reminds me of when
everything was right and I go
back again.
Chorus: and its the same as it was, and then it
all falls again
wish I could change how it ends, but I guess that's
how it goes
so these wheels they roll on down this winding road
in the night when the stars
are shinin' and i'm lookin up
I think of you and the
memories are just too much
so I take a drink and lean
way back and start to drift away
until I'm back with you again
if only we could stay.
(Repeat Chorus)
and darlin’ I realize, the
pain is gone
and maybe I suppose, that I
should let go
and yet these wheels, they
roll on down this winding road
(Repeat Chorus)
TIME IS RIGHT
i know the moon is gonna
shine tonight
i know the moon will be
shinin' big and bright
I call out to it, with a
sweet home melody
It shows me the way, reminds
me that I’m free
Chorus: and when the time is right, we're gonna
get on down
and when the feeling strikes we'll tear up this town
there isn't anything that can make me stay
cause when the moon is right it takes me away
I know that I'll be back
again someday
we'll sit and laugh over a
nice wine and fillet
'til then I'm ridin' off into
that west sunset
gonna see how far around this
ole world I can get.
(Repeat Chorus)
All I want from this world is
what's mine
not a right or a wrong this
time
my friends keep tellin' me
that i've gone mad
well if its true then it
ain't so bad..
now if the moon is out and
you're feelin cool
just remember this one golden
rule
go where you want to go but
there ain't no need to run
cause you will only get to
where you're coming from
(Repeat Chorus)
take me away...
take me away..
