I run this highway
The cold wind blows
I've lost the feeling
In all my toes
Its been so long
Since I saw your room
and heard your subtle tune
ring into the air
The neon hums
The door still creaks
I've been on my own
For several weeks
Just bring me in
And wash away my pain
I'll listen to the train
Right by your back door
Walking on the hill
And singing in the town
Looking at the stars
And having you around
Lordy Oh Lord its hard
These empty streets
Are all I've known
It brings me peace
When I'm alone
And if one day
You should call my name
I will do the same
And ride along again

Drop Me In

Drop me in that river keep me cool
Wish I could swim. I'd sink down like a fool.
Everyone's playing in the river water but me.
I'm standing on the bank just waiting in misery
Walking on the shore, dreaming of endless rhymes
Dive down to the bottom and leave these lonesome times
I lost my will to turn and swim upstream
I'll float down south into my blurry dream

It's morning
My eyes burn like a firework on the Fourth of July
Way up in the sky
And its all falling down
When you're not around
Its easy
To be dreaming when you're feeling like you own this whole world
I can tell you it was
And I could have it all
I'll wait for your call
I'll try not to think of the hard road that may lie ahead
I'll lie here and wonder what life we could have lead
Was it something I said
To push you away
To push you away
Its evening
I'm dreaming of sharing this beautiful day
All the things I could say
Right from my bed
You left me on read

Way Out in the West
03:24
|

|
The stars shine so brightly
I can see them when I blink
If I could hold you tightly
It'd pull me off the brink
I've been restless
I don't know where I'll go
The night seems so empty
When you're feeling low
Shine on me lord
Just help me find my way
Find my way
At times when I'm lonesome
I howl up at the moon
And drive down these dark roads
And dream of what I'll do
And maybe when its over
And we've all had our say
You can rest easy
And have a better day
Shine on me lord
Just help me find my way
Find my way

900 Days
02:51
|
|||
|
I remember walking through those streets
With a box of wine in my hand
Just trying to meet all my heroes
And stumbling like a turtle on the sand
I'd stare across the highway every morning
Oh I may never see you again
As painful as its ever been
Its one more fight I might not win
But maybe I'll just get lucky
I wake up every single day
And fold my hands and start to pray
And thank God for these 900 days
I gave up every single time
Without you walking by my side
I thank God for these 900 days
The COA came calling for their money
Left me with a cooler in the dark
I couldn't sleep I was so hot
It was summer time, I had no pot
And working is all and honest man can do
So I'm packing all my bags and I'm leaving
You can find me out in Nashville, Tennessee
With a smile on my face again
Just floating gently on the wind
And waiting to tell my story
I wake up every single day
And fold my hands and start to pray
And thank God for these 900 days
I gave up every single time
Without you walking by my side
I thank God for these 900 days
