Back in July
04:51
|
|||
All through the day
The hours were hanging on
Like leaves that have fallen
But never touch ground
And I’m not the same
As yesterday
But it was always that way
When you were around
I went away
So pen me your name
And I’ll send a crate
Of artisan goods
Oh me, oh my
I don’t want your apple pies
I just want to be
Back in July
That cruise where we met
You were my best bet
For having a fun time
While standing in line
Our families both knew
What we were getting into
Caught kissing on the couch
In your sister’s room
Staying out late
Dancing on the deck
That thrill turned to chill
As soon as you left
And oh me, oh my
I don’t want your pretty lies
I wanna be Back in July
Back in July
That night around the fire
I was lost in them
black ember thoughts
Sitting close by your side
I was there too
Under the same moon
When the fire died
It died in us too
That was just ok
I appreciate you babe
I'll be on my way
Here’s looking at you
Oh me, oh my
I don’t wanna catch your eye
I just wanna be back in July
Back in July
Was I in love with you
Or who I thought you were?
Had dreamed of all year
Who I thought I knew
That dream quickly died
Soon as we were apart
The letters went stale
As months drove by
Those nights were so sweet
Much more than the pie
You mailed me in a box
After summer went by
Oh me, oh my
I don’t wanna weep and cry
Just wanna be back in July
Back in July

Crossing Road
04:37
|
|||
Caught high and dry out in the cold
Riding all night to the crossing road
One way leads to trouble
all the others seem to follow
If only I knew where to go
Well, your choice was made in the games you played
And now fate will say if you get to stay
You’ll recognize what you know
That’s the way it always goes
Choose the familiar, well worn way
Caught in the middle of a shootout
Between my longing and my love
I can’t hide forever
Find a line and cut the tether
We’ll see how far I can run
Can this be it?
Can this be the avenue winding home?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel the pull of the unknown?
I can hear your footsteps falling hard
Now that you’ve climbed out of your dusty car
I hoped you’d choose this path
Without stopping to do the math
And now our future seems quite clear
Well I lost my phone so I couldn’t
You would never have to call
It was a long ride and so I didn’t
You don’t have to explain at all
And now we’ll take a chance
That this could be the answer
That we’ve both been longing for
Can you see it?
Can you see how loneliness takes its toll?
Can this be it?
Can this be the avenue winding home?
Back home
Some will stay, some will go
Folks that find that old crossing road
Life ain’t just a highway
I’ve seen enough in my day
It runs for miles untold
Can this be it?
Can this be the avenue winding home?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel the pull of the unknown?

Holes in Your Pockets
03:13
|
|||
Over the hillside
Beyond the treeline
Where the sun shines through
Out there is someone
You said you were coming
That was a long time ago
Yeah, but these holes in your pockets
They won’t leave you alone
Now that you’re out on your own
And we’ll find all the parts
That fell away when you crashed down
From high in the clouds
You know I’d like to see you
As you are, as you have been
And always will be in the end
Yeah, but these holes in your pockets
They won’t leave you alone
This place is a coffin
And it’s killing you slow
The weight is upon us
As we rise through the stone
Over the hillside
Beyond the treeline
Where the sun shines through
Out there is someone
You said you were coming
That was a long time ago

Honky Tonk Rose
04:23
|
|||
She’ll meet you at the corner
With a hug and a smile
She don’t take no guff
She’ll stay a long while
More at home at the farm
Than in her uptown clothes
She’s a rare gentle breed
Known as a Honky Tonk Rose
A Honky Tonk Rose
Has some very big thorns
Where the cold winds blow
That’s where they were formed
You can’t cut them with a knife
She’s a hard one to know
Where the cedars grow
You’ll find a Honky Tonk rose
You’ll take her out dancing
She’s got other ideas
There’s no need for romancing
She doesn’t know what that is
You’ll cling tight to one another
She’s scared and it shows
Just another night in the life of
Our fragile Honky Tonk Rose
A Honky Tonk Rose
Has some very sharp thorns
Where the neon glows
That’s where they were formed
You can’t cut them with a knife
She’s hot and she knows
Where the whiskey flows
You’ll find a Honky Tonk rose
Oh, believe me, I love her
For all that she is
I’ve helped her out of the gutter
And babysat her two kids
She’s got a heart of gold
She’ll be the first to let you know
That she’s nothing special
Our little Honky Tonk Rose
A Honky Tonk Rose
Has lost her thorns
Content now, she’s chose
To live a life without harm
She reads the papers when she likes
Easy at it goes
No more lady of the night
Our friend the Honky Tonk rose
A little Honky Tonk rose
Our little Honky Tonk rose
Our fragile Honky Tonk rose

Hopeless on Hope Island
02:35
|

I am hopeless on Hope Island
Set adrift without a sail
Following the ocean’s lead
And I am surely bound to fail
When I first met you, you were so shy
Could barely stand to look in my eyes
And then we kissed and it was too late
A lonely heart should never tempt fate
And now I’m broken, I am crying
The love between us slowly dying
Deep down inside there was a flame
Now only embers doused with shame
Well we were lost but we were happy
Dancing here and there and laughing
Dead to the world but so alive inside
Of course it wasnt everlasting
Now I’m angry and so strung out
After uncovering the truth about
The lonely life you chose to lead
Filled with lies, betrayal, and greed
I am hopeless on Hope Island
Set adrift without a sail
Following the ocean’s lead
And I am surely bound to fail
I’m a wave out in the ocean
I feel you and we’ll meet again
Now the flame’s out in the open
For once in our lifetime
I am hopeless on Hope Island
Set adrift without a sail
Following the ocean’s lead
And I am surely bound to fail

I Can't Cry for You
04:42
|
|||
You know I’m so familiar
And you know a lie from the truth
You found something inside so peculiar
And I can find it too
But I can’t cry for you
Life is too short to be losing
And I don’t have time to be blue
The secret you search for is so close
And I can’t find it too
But I can’t cry
No I can’t cry
No I can’t cry
For you
Baby, I had such a good time
The way you wanted me to
You got nothing to hide in your blue eyes
I can’t hide it too
But I can’t cry
No I can’t cry
No I can’t cry
For you
You saw me through rose glasses
It was too good to be true
So babe, let those tears light up your lashes
And I will see this through
But I can’t cry
No I can’t cry
No I can’t cry
For you

Sometimes
04:31
|
|||
Sometimes I lay down and cry
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
And other times I just run and hide
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
When it all goes dark
I know you’ll fill the spark
Feeding my flaming heart
Love will give me a fresh start
I know you will stick around
Feet on the ground
We will get found
And in the air, life it grows
Flickers and flows
Glistens and glows
Going both near and far
We will feel who we are
Building our strength and grace
Climbing those hills we face
When we reach the top
We can bump cheers and stop
Taking in all the views
Creating this moment anew
So take a leap and follow your soul
Lose control
Be made whole
Freedom is yours, just look within
Face those fears
Unleash those tears
Muscle, blood, and bone
Your choice is all your own
Tend to your garden, now
Roll up your sleeves, grab your plow
Hitch up your strongest team
Take to the fields and go
Whatever you plant will thrive
A forest of fruits you design
And be at peace
Be at peace
Be at peace

She Won't Crack
04:29
|

Fame
You put a bottle of whiskey in my hand
The sole survivor of the pain
Light it up and feel no shame
No shame
Growing old
Was so far from that old episode
Twenty five and on, we let it all go
Got me running any way from home
Any way from home
I was on the last step of beaten path
She put me on her back, she won’t even crack
Pour another round, we can feel it out
Down on my luck
Afraid of all the things I’d said I’d do
Crippled by fate’s relentless truth
And now I’m fine, cause I’ve got you
Cause I’ve got you
Here it is on a different page
It wasn’t a stage
This is your way
Days go by with a salty taste
Without a lime
No sense of time
The harder feelings will wash away
But come on back
With the break of day
Can’t hold in all this fear and pain
But I can drink it down
Overcome it somehow
I was on the last step of beaten path
She put me on her back, she won’t even crack
Pour another round, we can feel it out
She put me on her back, she won’t even crack

Hanging On
01:28

I was hanging on to nothing
But we were on something
The ledge that caught my hand
How it scared me, way back when
Now we’re here again
Hanging on
Hanging on
