As long as you're who I'm with
Praise you with my dying breath
Pull my heart out of my chest
God, I'd do anything.
I'll open every car door,
I won't go out any more
I'll even eat off the floor
God, I'd do anything at all
I'll be there to catch you right when you fall
I'll be there as long as you tell me when
I'll be there until eternity ends
You know why, 'cause you're worth everything
And side by side forever, we'll be together
It keeps getting better, through the desert, now
I'll laugh in the face of danger, I'll be your lone ranger
And you'll be my angel, as we wave goodbye
And ride into the sunset, some things we ain't done yet
And prove to the world our love will never die at all
I'd stick my hand in the flames
Subject myself to the pain
I'd even sleep in the rain
God, I'd do anything
I'd cross the desert for you
Let you beat me black and blue
Spray paint your name on the moon
God I'd do anything at all
I'll be there to catch you right when you fall
I'll be there as long as you tell me when
I'll be there until eternity ends
You know why, 'cause you're worth everything
And side by side forever, we'll be together
It keeps getting better, through the desert, now
I'll laugh in the face of danger, I'll be your lone ranger
And you'll be my angel, as we wave goodbye
And ride into the sunset
Some things we ain't done yet
And prove to the world our love will never die at all
Yeah, I'd do anything at all
You know why, 'cause you're worth everything
I'd do things you won't believe
Get you a ring if you need
Get down right here on one knee
God I'd do anything
You know why, you know why
'Cause you're worth everything
And side by side for ever
We'll be together
It keeps getting better, through the desert now
I'll laugh in the face of danger, I'll be your lone ranger
And you'll be my angel, as we wave goodbye
And ride into the sunset, some things we ain't done yet
And prove to the world our love won't ever die at all
I'll be your lone ranger, I hope you never die at all
And you'll be my angel
Cause I'll do anything at all
I'll do anything at all
Yeah, I'll do anything at all
Sometimes it's hard to know
If you're going or if you're gone
So you dodge from right to left
Never knowing which way is wrong, no
Holding strong to all you know
Slipping faster to your fall
Like a sinner in a sin
Loser that never wins
I'm a poet without a pen
I've always been and I'd do it again
Gonna paint the town tonight
Use colors green and amber
Like a painter without a brush
Whose colors fill to capture
It's the chaos I understand
And it's the calmness in my rants of anger
Just a sinner in a sin
Loser that never wins
I'm a poet without a pen
And I've always been and I'd do it again
Someday I'm gonna to wake up
And I know that the sun is gonna shine, keeps on shining down
Someday I know the clouds are gonna part
Yes, I know that its rays they will find me
Sinner in a sin
Loser that never wins
Poet without a pen
I've always been and I'd do it again
Oh, I'm a sinner in a sin
A loser that never wins
A poet without a pen
Every word I say, I mean it
Every single day, I feel it
But sometimes when you talk
It's obvious you want to show it
So don't blow it
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
That keeps me hangin on
I can read the signs between us
I feel it inside when you come nearer
There's a stillness in the air like no one else is there
And every moment stays in the moment
Yeah
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate, driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
That keeps me hangin on
Sometimes it hurts to watch you leave
It feels like you're taking a part of me with you
I never know how it'll be
I guess it's just a mystery
But is it the real thing (that keeps me hangin on)
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot, tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate, driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
That keeps me hangin on
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot, tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate, driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
Looking out the airplane window
Thirty thousand miles of shadow
All the silver linings bend into the night
Never any hesitation
Never any explanation
I wish I had a ticket off this flight
Everything keeps moving fast
What I want is what I have
Right now, I’m closer that I thought I could be
It’s my life, my time to find the answers
Don’t always know what kind of road is in front of me
But I’ll go slow wanna remember every moment
That this is by the goodness ride has ever been
It’s my life
In times I really miss my family
I wonder what they're doing right now
I know their thinking of me
I can’t imagine where I’m going
But I know where it is I come from
And it makes me feel complete
Everything keeps moving fast
What I want is what I have
Right now, I’m closer that I thought I could be
It’s my life, my time to find the answers
Don’t always know what kind of road is in front of me
But I’ll go slow wanna remember every moment
That passes by the goodness ride has ever been
It’s my life, it’s my life
And it’s a real good fight
Trying to find what’s mine
Tryin’ to be who I’m supposed to be
It’s my life, its my time to find the answers
Don’t always know what kind
But I’ll go slow wanna remember every moment
That passes by the goodness ride has every thing
Who am I to say you’re wrong
For feeling what you feel
There’s something in the way you talk
Like you’ve forgotten what is real
You don’t have to prove you’re strong
To face it on your own
Cause it’ll steal your breath
It’ll wear you out
It’ll throw you to the ground.
There is a lighter day
Hold on, hold on
It’s closer than you let yourself believe
Whoa-oh
When life cuts you like a blade
It’s gone so wrong
You can’t remember who you’re supposed to be
Hold on, hold on
To me
You can tell me anything
Your deepest darkest fears
I ain’t gonna judge you baby
That’s not why I’m here
You can lay your burden down
You can lay it down on me
And I’ll take it all
I’ll lift you up
I’ll pass you to the sun
There is a lighter day
Hold on, hold on
It’s closer than you let yourself believe
Whoa-oh
When life cuts you like a blade
It’s gone so wrong
You can’t remember who you’re supposed to be
Hold on, hold on
To me
To everything you’re certain of
All the love that’s right in front of you
Trouble always has a door
That you can break through
There is a lighter day
Hold on, hold on
It’s closer than you let yourself believe
Whoa-oh
When life cuts you like a blade
It’s gone so wrong
You can’t remember who you’re supposed to be
Hold on, hold on
To me
There is a lighter day
Hold on, hold on
It’s closer than you let yourself believe
Whoa-oh
There is a lighter day
There is someone that you can turn to
Hold on, hold on
Lately, I've been so far gone
Pretending I don't know where I went wrong
I've been lying to myself in the arms of someone else
Without you I just can't fake it ..tonight
Here I am, so please don't tell me it's the ending
You're all I ever wanted from the beginning
I know I let you down, I'll live with that forever,
I want to scream out loud
That you're the only one that makes me better
Baby, I could barely talk to you
You got me, don't know how I made it through
Still you came with me that night, you will remember that alright
I can't believe that we could lose this tonight
I'm begging you now please don't tell me it's the ending
You're all I ever wanted from the beginning
I know I let you down, I'll live with that forever,
I want to scream out loud
That you're the only one that makes me better
Yeaa...this time I'm gonna make you right..
Oh, just take me home with you tonight
Please don't tell me it's the ending ,
You're all I ever wanted from the beginning
I know I let you down, I'll live with that forever,
I want to scream out loud
Cause you're the only one that makes me better
Everyday I find another way
Something more to get me through this life, life, life
You don?t believe in what you see
Then tell me baby, does it make you blind, blind, blind?
That ain't the way it is
I need a witness when you talk to me
I need a witness, won't you set me free?
I need a witness when you talk to me
I need a witness baby, now won't you set me free?
All these people travel on, travel on in the road, road, road
Now you tell me how to plant my seed
Then you tell me baby, it won?t grow, grow, grow
Now it ain?t the way it is
I need a witness when you talk to me
I need a witness, won't you set me free?
I need a witness when you talk to me
Oh, I need a witness baby, now won't you set me free?
Oh, set me free child, c'mon
Oh, yeah, yeah, listen to me people
People die when we don?t try, we walk away
Don?t you see there?s a better way of life?
People die when we don?t try, we walk away
Don?t you see there?s a better way, people pray?
People die when we don?t try, we walk away
Don?t you see there?s a better way of life?
People die when we don?t try, we walk away
I need a witness when you talk to me
Yeah, I need a witness baby, won't you set me free, yeah, set me free?
I need a witness, now won't you talk to me?
Oh, I need a witness baby, now won't you set me free?
Oh, set me free, child
I said, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Tell me what you'll do baby
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Tell me what you'll do child
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Tell me what you'll do baby
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Here I go
Trying to write another chapter in my life
Driving down this lonely highway deep inside
And where I'm going I don't really know
But here I go
Trying hard not to leave too much life behind
Is there something out there that I'm trying to find
I believe in love
Believe in us
But there are days when it's not enough
I'm not gonna change who I am
But I ain't gonna give up the fight
I don't care who's wrong or right
When it's all said and done
And you tell me you've had enough
You're thinking of giving up on love
I'm still willing to try
Here I go
Step into this spotlight on the stage
Finally realizing that I've come of age
Running my own race down life's lonesome road
So here I go
We only get one life we got to live
Let's hope we find the strength just to forgive.
If you believe in me
Like I believe in us
There ain't no way we're giving up
I'm not gonna change who I am
But I ain't gonna give up the fight
I don't care who's wrong or right
When it's all said and done
And you tell me you've had enough
You're thinking of giving up on love
I'm willing to try
When you're all alone
Feeling so far from home
Just hold on
'Cause I'm willing to try
When you're crying deep inside
Holding on to your pride
Just hold on cause I'm willing to try
If you believe in love
Believe in us
Gotta find the faith
To never give up
I'm not gonna change who I am
I'm not gonna give up the fight
I don't care who's wrong or right
Baby when it's all said and done
And you tell me you've had enough
You're thinking of giving up on love
I'm not gonna change who I am
I ain't gonna give up the fight
I don't care who's wrong or right
Baby when it's all said and done
And you tell me you've had enough
You're thinking of giving up on love
I'm still willing to try
Tell me who knows what
Gonna happen today
Weatherman said that the sun is shining but all I see is pouring rain
And the preacher keeps saying
That we're out of time
If you tune in again next week then they'll tell you everything is fine
It's hard to know what's going on
When the right ones get it wrong
Tell me who knows what
Who knows what way is up
How much is too much
Hard to know sometimes just who to trust
Who knows what's going on
How much right they say is wrong
Tell me who knows what
Who knows what
A dollar means today
You can lay it down on the roll of a dice and you can put your money in the bank
You spend everything
To have everything
Then you sit around, around my friend and watch it going down the drain
You wake up and its gone
And you don't know what went wrong
Tell me who knows what
Who knows what way is up
How much is too much
Hard to know sometimes just who to trust
Who knows what's going on
How much right they say is wrong
Tell me who knows what
Who knows what way is up
How much is too much
Hard to know sometimes just who to trust
Who knows what's going on
How much right they say is wrong
Tell me who knows what
Tell me who knows what
Yeah tell me who knows what
Baby who knows what
Hey, well I'm the friendly stranger in the black sedan
Oh won't you hop inside my car
I got pictures, got candy, I am a lovable man
I'd like to take you to the nearest star
I'm your vehicle baby
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
I'm your vehicle woman
By now I'm sure you know
That I love ya (love you)
I need ya (need you)
I want to, got to have you child
Great God in heaven, you know I love you
Well if you want to be a movie star
I got the ticket to Hollywood
Well if you want to stay just like you are
You know I think you really should
I'm your vehicle baby
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
I'm your vehicle woman
By now I'm sure you know
That I love ya (love you)
I need ya (need you)
I want to, got to have you child
Great God in heaven, you know I love you
Oh you know I do
Well I'm the friendly stranger in the black sedan
Oh won't you hop inside my car
I got pictures, candy, I am a lovable man
I'd like to take you to the nearest star
I'm your vehicle babe
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
I'm your vehicle woman

I want to, got to have you child
This train is comin’ down the track and I hear it callin’
my name
I got a dollar in my pocket and I’m hopin’ that I can
make it on okay
All the years of countin’ on nothin’ at least it’s on my
mind
If I can make it on this time then I’ll take it on down
the line
CHORUS:
Well now this train is comin’ down my way
This train is gonna make it okay
This train is runnin’ down full speed
This train is comin’ down for me
At the station with my bottle and a Bible and I’m waitin’
on a Northbound train
God’s willin’ and I’m hopeful that he’s happy ‘cause I
know that I’m feelin’ no pain
All the years of countin’ on nothin’ went by in a blink
of an eye
Years of fear and blissful tears, you learn to crash
before you fly
I grew up on Merle Haggard, ZZ Top and CDB
And if that Freebird wasn’t soarin
Y’all would have never heard of me
Turn up Bocephus on the radio
Marshall Tucker now can’t you see
Chorus:
You can take me out the country
But you’ll never take the country out of me
Can’t go a day without Waylon Jennings
And the red haired stranger’s on mind
Johnny Cash and Jimmy Rogers
JJ Cale and old John Prine
My Sweet Melissa keeps on callin’
Take a load off Annalee
I ain’t never been to Heaven
But I hear it’s just the same as Tennessee
(Solo)
Now my face might seem familiar
You see me smiling on T.V.
They might take me out to L.A.
But they’ll never take sweet Dixieland from me
They might take me out the country
But they’ll never take the country out of me
If you didn’t know that I was country
I don’t know how much I can take
Before I reach the point of breaking down again
Just like a candle to the wind
It only burns a short while then it’s out again
Chorus:
You say it’s only words
You say it’s only words
But in my heart I know that it’s time to go
In my heart I know, yeah
Do I ever cross your mind?
Love is blind they say I still can’t find my way
Though I’ve lost myself at times
In my heart I know you’re never too far away
(Chorus)
(Solo)
Just like little children fight
This side's yours and that side's mine
Nothing more but in between
Broken hearts and shattered dreams
We don't all live the same lives, but we all sleep under the same skies
Now a change is gonna come, I can feel it in the wind today
It's a long, long road back from nowhere
We fight like hell sometimes, other days we don't care
It's a long, long road back from nowhere
A change is gonna come, I can feel it in the wind today
Everybody thinks they see, what is wrong with you and me
When we finally understand, not one man has got the plan
We don't all live the same lives, but we all sleep under the same skies
Now a change is gonna come, I can feel it in the wind today
It's a long, long road back from nowhere
We fight like hell sometimes, other days we don't care
It's a long, long road back from nowhere
A change is gonna come, I can feel it in the wind today
Asking every child, woman, and man
To join me here in the promised land
It's a long, long road back from nowhere
We fight like hell sometimes, other days we don't care
It's a long, long road back from nowhere
I've been trying to leave but my heart doesn't want to
Deep inside I know you're no good for me
What the hell am I trying to hold on to, when I know you
You're just another picture in a pile of memories
If you want to go I think it's time for you to leave
I ain't gonna let you take another piece of me
Now there ain't much left but my torn up pride
But if you want to take it
Oh baby, all that's left is lonely, broke, and wasted.
I picked you up when you didn't have a prayer
At the time I just needed someone there
It was never in my plans to love you, now I do
What a shame it had to all end up this way
If you want to go I think it's time for you to leave
I ain't gonna let you take another piece of me
Now there ain't much left but my torn up pride
But if you want to take it
Oh baby, all that's left is lonely, broken
I've wasted too much time
Just hanging on your line
There's not enough whiskey on my shelf
To make me think that you're someone else
Now there ain't much left but my torn up pride
But if you want to take it
Oh baby all that's left is lonely, broke, and wasted
Don't know how the bills will get paid
Hard to make it by on minimum wage.
Nobody I know got it made in the shade
Round and round and round we go
You better get up, lord you better get up, people don't you know
You better wake up, child, you better wake up get your feet back on the floor
If you feel your spirits sinking, let your worries go
You got to keep on rollin', down that road
Hearts get broke and love gets lost
Nobody worry about what its gonna cost
Who's gonna pay when the dice gets tossed
So it's round and round and round we go
You better to get up, better get up, people don't you know
You better to wake, child, you better wake up get your feet back on the floor
If you feel your spirits sinking, you let your worries go
You got to keep on rollin', down that road,
Better keep on rollin', down that road
It's round and round and round we go
You better to get up, lord you better get up, people don't you know
You go to wake up, child, you better wake and get your feet back on the floor
If you feel your spirits sinking, you let your worries go
You got to keep on rollin', down that road
You got to keep on rollin', down that road
I’m gonna give leaving a brand new meaning
Show you how it feels to be alone
I can’t find the rhyme within her reason
Guess it’s time for me to just move on.
Chorus
Cause I’m gone
I’m gone
I’m gone
Traveling down this lonely road
A friend to the wind and the sky’s my home
Traveling down this road yet I’m all alone
But I’m gone
Another coffee smoke-filled Sunday morning
She’s in the other room but not at home
I’ve tried everything to please that woman
The beauty’s in the sparkle not the stone
Chorus
But I’m gone
I’m gone
I’m gone
Traveling down this lonely road
A friend to the wind and the sky’s my home
Traveling down this road yet I’m all alone
But I’m gone
I don’t worry about tomorrow
I find out a mile on down the road
Chorus
That I’m Gone
Traveling down this lonely road
Friend to the wind and the sky’s my home
Traveling down this road yet I’m all alone
Well you’ve been talkin’, talkin’ ‘bout it
Now you got to leave it behind
You ain’t got no cause for conversation
No you ain’t gonna stand here in line
Keep a distance with your dirty habits
All these people just letting you by
Chorus:
Ain’t got money, ain’t got time
You’re spreading me thin girl
Like a worn thin dime
No you cannot stand and deny
The groove is happenin’, and the beat is flowin’
Breathin’ right here on time
Sure will miss you, baby as you’re leavin’
Hear you whisper as you close the blinds
(Chorus)
(Solo)
Sure will miss you, baby as you’re leavin’
Hear you whisper as you close the blinds
Face to face, eye to eye
You say you love me, then you bleed me dry
You try to make me like it, you know I can't deny
You call a spade a spade baby, if it so applies
Now your heartbeat's ticking in me like a bomb that's ready to blow
Did you see what you came to see, go ahead enjoy the show
Take your time if you're so inclined, jump on here with me
Get on and ride it in the fast lane honey
Won't you get on and ride, won't you get on and ride it now
Every day, I walk another mile
You find me guilty, but don't give me a trial
If that's the case, baby I don't mind it
This time around girl, it's your turn to ride yeah
Now your heartbeat's ticking in me like a bomb that's ready to blow
Did you see what you came to see, go ahead enjoy the show
Take your time if you're so inclined, jump on here with me
Get on and ride it in the fast lane honey,
Won't you get on and ride it, won't you get on and ride it now
Get on and ride
Now show me what you got
Now your heartbeat's ticking in me like a bomb that's ready to blow
Did you see what you came to see, go ahead enjoy the show
I don't mind if you take your time, jump on here with me
Get on ride it in the fast lane honey,
Won't you get on and ride it, won't you get on and ride it now
Now your heartbeat's ticking in me like a bomb that's ready to blow
Did you see what you came to see, go ahead enjoy the show
Take your time if you're so inclined, jump on here with me
Get on ride and it in the fast lane honey,
What a strange situation that I got myself into
I knew I should have listened when they said stay away
from you
I made my decision, I didn’t care about the consequence
The pain, the lies, you hurt my pride
I wonder where my money went
Chorus:
You do what you do just to get at me
If it makes you feel good go ahead and try
I’ll take anything that you throw at me
It might hurt but I ain’t gonna die (no, no, no)
Well you wouldn’t know a good thing if it looked you in
the face
If you’d pay attention instead of getting off into my
space
You’d see a new way that wasn’t there the day before
One more try, if not, goodbye
Go ahead and close the door
(Chorus)
(Solo)
I hate this town, I can't even count the reasons
Don't know where I'm bound, all I know is that I'm leaving
Down a dusty road that's been calling me for years
Daddy just shook his head, Mama was fighting back the tears
I said time to go, there aint nothing left but leaving
When you know you know, you just can't fight that feeling
You can climb the highest mountain, go where no one's ever gone
On a crowded city sidewalk, you might find yourself alone
In the middle of the desert, anywhere the wind blows
Son you take yourself with you, wherever you go
Got a taste of the city life, and them rollin' hills
Man, them LA nights, gave this country boy a thrill
But I never felt right, like I ever fit in
So I kept moving on, now it's time to roll again
When it's time to go, there aint nothing left but leaving
When you know you know, like the changing of the seasons
You can climb the highest mountain, go where no one's ever gone
On a crowded city sidewalk, you might find yourself alone
In the middle of the desert, anywhere the wind blows
Son you take yourself with you, wherever you go
Now I found out the hard way, and I made my own mistakes
But my Daddy's words were with me every step of the way
You can climb the highest mountain, go where no one's ever gone
On a crowded city sidewalk, you might find yourself alone
In the middle of the desert, anywhere the wind blows
Son you take yourself with you, wherever you go
Sweet little country girls, smiling back at me
Sweet like Iowa corn, in the summertime breeze
Like to see wildflowers, in the midday sun
Stretching out like a field of dreams
Where a southern boy wants to run
Wild roses, make me feel alright
Wild roses, dancing in the pale moonlight
Looking out all around me, what a beautiful sight
I see a lot of wild roses in here tonight
I'd like to get tangled, caught up in your thorns
Feel the pain of leaving, let my heart be torn,
On a long lost highway, where the moon it shines
And the hint of sweet perfume
I'll be thinking of you while the road's unwinding
Wild roses, make me feel alright
Wild roses, dancing in the pale moonlight
Looking out all around me, what a beautiful sight
I see a lot of wild roses in here tonight
What really moves me, it always gets to me
Is how all your beauty is so untamed
Wild roses, make me feel alright
Wild roses, dancing in the pale moonlight
Looking out all around me, what a beautiful sight
I see a lot of wild roses in here tonight
I got whiskey, women and time
I?ve been traveling down those thin white lines
About ninety miles behind me now and it?s gonna be a good ride
I can?t wait to get back out on the road
It?s the place that I love every time, baby, don?t you know?
Love whiskey, women and time
Traveling thin white lines
Love whiskey, women and time
Traveling thin white lines
'Bout ninety miles outta Vegas, it's gonna be a long trip
There?re many a times I?ve stumbled along the way
There?re many a times I've slipped
I keep coming up and coming down
And everything here and in between, Lord, I have
Haven?t been asleep in so long
I know that it feels like a dream this time
I love that whiskey, women and time
Traveling thin white lines
Love whiskey, women and time
Traveling thin white lines
Many times when you see me, you know I?m on the go
Headed to another town, yeah, it?s time to do another show
Grab a friend if you want, come along, you can join me for the ride
Life should be a journey for your heart, it?s in and out like the tide
I got whiskey, women and time
I keep traveling down those thin white lines
?Bout a million miles behind me now, feels like a billion miles
I can?t wait to get back home, see my momma
My dad, my brothers and sisters, all the people that I love
Baby, don?t you know it?s good to be back home again?
I love whiskey, women and time
I love traveling thin white lines
But it's good to be back home again
Whiskey, women and time
Traveling thin white lines
Whiskey, women and time
I've been down and I'm nothing at all.
And sometimes I feel I've grown.
Never try to let it show,
But I'm not alone.
If you sing this song,
I'll take you there,
If you don't care.
Going to the Valley of Angels,
to swim in the deep blue sea.
Surrounded by your faith and your glory,
is where I find my peace
So peace,
In the Valley of Angels...
In the Valley of Angels.
Heard so many stories, I thought they were lies (but you know they're true.)
I know that I have quit before I even tried (ahhh, but you could not worry.)
I stood up one day and found myself.
But I'm not alone.
If you sing this song,
I'll take you there.
If you don't care....
Then go with me!
Going to the Valley of Angels,
To swim in the deep blue sea.
Surrounded by your faith and your glory,
is where I find my peace...
You know I find some peace,
...in the Valley of Angels.
All you ever dreamed to see..
You can touch, you don't believe.
Lying here on angels' wings....
Going to the Valley of Angels,
to swim in the deep blue sea.
Surrounded by your faith and your glory,
is where I find my peace...
You know i find some peace.
You know i'll take you there,
No, if you don't care....
Ohhhhh, in the Valley of Angels.
(Going to the Valley of Angels)
To the Valley of Angels
(Going to the Valley of Angels)
There’s a meeting across the river
Just past the smokescreen in your eyes
Everybody’s waitin’ to see you deliver
Now’s the time to break the tie that binds
Come on down now, from your fences
Come on down to the other side
CHORUS:
Broken down in another man’s cell
Who’s gonna be there to pay your bail?
It’s hard sometimes to know what is right
Everyday, just another hard time
You should know by now you gotta pay to ride
But that’s alright, I finally see the light
Didn’t think there’d be a sermon
Don’t make no difference, by and by
I can’t be bothered by your burden
It’s just a matter of time before it dies
(CHORUS)
Just go on about your business
Break out the truth at the light of day
One more thing you should consider
Is how your lies gave you some damn good shade
The dawn is close
And sheds its light on me
It makes me feel like what we had was really nothing at all
Now do you care, but am I in this alone
But maybe I am
Oh if I am
Remember me
Remember all the times
All those endless nights
We didn't want to sleep
Remember me
And how I made you laugh
Until I made you cry...
We had everything
But don't you ever forget
So this is love
It feels like agony
I want you here 'cause the thought of you with someone else is hell on earth
I can't breathe
Knowing that you don't believe
In all that we had
So all that I ask
Is remember me
Remember all the times
All those endless nights
We didn't want to sleep
Remember me
And how I made you laugh
Until I made you cry
We had everything
But don't you ever forget
All of the memories are leaving me empty
Oh how I want you here right now
It gets so lonely
I need you to hold me
Everything else just brings me down
Ooohhhhh yeah
Remember me
Remember all the times
All those endless nights
We didn't want to sleep
Oh remember me
And how I made you laugh
Until I made you cry
We had everything, everything
So don't you ever forget
Never never forget
We've been through this over for a thousand times
Come on, come on, come on
Tell me what's on your mind
It doesn't matter baby what I say
You never seemed to hear me anyway
What's going to show
It's never enough
It always comes down to something
How could I live
Why would I try
I could learn to live without you
While that's a lie
No giving in, no saying goodbye
All comes down to one thing that all of this means nothing without you
All of this means nothing without you
I've thought a thought you reach out
Thought I thought you tried
Waiting here for something, nothing's all I find
Nearly natural alter standing on the shore
Writing now to listen, I'm outside the door
What's going to show
It's never enough
It always comes down to something
How could I live
Why would I try
I could learn to live without you
While that's a lie
No giving in, no saying goodbye
All comes down to one thing that all of this means nothing without you
I won't give up, I give in, no, cause you know I won't let you down
How could I live
Why would I try
I could learn to live without you
While I would die
No giving in, no saying goodbye
All comes down to one thing that all of this means nothing without you
Why would I try
I could learn to live without you
While I would die
No giving in, no saying goodbye
All comes down to one thing that all of this means nothing without you
Did you know that you were leaving when you first told me your name
Convince me that you love me while planning your escape
Always looking past me on to someone else’s face
Tell me
Is he all the things you tried to change me into
Tell me does he make you high?
Does he make you real?
Does he make you cry?
Does he know the way you feel?
Love is all around you
Your universe is full
But in my world
There is only you
Yeah, there is only you
Kept me at a distance while you told me you want more
Plans about our future made with one foot out the door
You say that it’s over but there’s some things I can’t ignore
Tell me
Is he all the things you tried to change me into
Tell me does he make you high?
Does he make you real?
Does he make you cry?
Does he know the way you feel?
Love is all around you
Your universe is full
But in my world
I have my fears, you let them out
Now I wrap myself around you like a blanket full of doubt
The darkness burns, the sunlight stings
Cause he’s holding everything
Does he make you high?
Does he make you real?
Does he make you cry?
Does he know the way you feel?
Love is all around you
Your universe is full
But in my world
You made me high
You made me real
You made me cry
Now you know the way I feel
Love is all around you
Your universe is full
But in my world
I’ll get you back
I’m out of cash
You can always count on me
Oh, I forgot
C’mon baby just believe
You’re so good at telling lies
I’m like “here we go again”
And I don’t need no reason why
You could tell me anything
Just don’t think I don’t know
That I should let you go
But you’re beautiful tonight
So lie…it’s alright
(Keep saying whatever you want to believe, as long as you look like that, she says)
I’m over here
Around the way
You know I’m only stopping by
I thought you said
You said to me
Come on over here tonight
I don’t mind
I kinda like
All the stories that you tell
It’s obvious but I don’t care
Cause you’re doing it so well
You’re so good at telling lies
I’m like “here we go again”
And I don’t need no reason why
You could tell me anything
Just don’t think I don’t know
That I should let you go
But you’re beautiful tonight
So lie…it’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alright
No I wouldn’t change a thing
It’s alright
You’re so good at telling lies
I’m like “here we go again”
And I don’t need no reason why
You could tell me anything
Just don’t think I don’t know
That I should let you go
But you’re beautiful tonight
So lie…it’s alright
You’re so good at telling lies
I’m like “here we go again”
And I don’t need no reason why
You could tell me anything
Just don’t think I don’t know
That I should let you go
But you’re beautiful tonight
I've been down, now I'm blessed
I felt a revelation comin' 'round
I guess it's right, it's so amazing
Everytime I see you, I'm alive
You're all I've got, you lift me up
The sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in, a soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
When we touch, when we love
The stars light up, the wrong becomes undone
And naturally my soul surrenders
Sun and the moonlight
All my dreams are in your eyes
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in, a soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
When minutes turn to days and years
If mountains fall, I'll still be here
Holding you until the day I die
I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
I wanna be inside your heaven
(Take me to the place you cry from)
Where the storm blows your way
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in, a soothin' wind
I wanna be inside your heaven
And I wanna be inside your heaven
Take me to the place you cry from
Where the storm blows your way
And I wanna be the earth that holds you
Every bit of air you're breathin' in, a soothin' wind
I wanna be inside
I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming
from
[Chorus:]
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned!
[Chorus]
Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to
leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situation-made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody
[Chorus]
My mother was just 21, all alone with a son of gun she roamed
Spent some nights sleeping in our car, cheap hotels and seedy bars
As it came to pass so was my road
She's a good-hearted woman with a heart of gold that always understands
That good hearted woman is making life the best way she can
My grandaddy said when I was 9, boy I raised you on that the Southern pride and so
Taught me how to fish and how to fight, when I was wrong and what was right
But the greatest story that he ever told
Was of a good-hearted woman with a heart of gold that always understands
That good hearted woman is making life the best way she can
Pretty wife and fancy cars, I've paid my dues and got some scars to say
There ain't a thing that I regret and I hope to laugh at all of this
When I'm sitting on my front porch old and gray
With my good-hearted woman with a heart of gold that always understands
My good hearted woman is making life the best way she can
Sitting in the glare of the neon smoke
Always mistaken for the light of hope
Mourning in a lonely woman's eyes
She's fallen one more time
Feeling the weight of the morning sky
I'm running again from another lie
From gray to midnight I've been through
Every broken-hearted hue
You may think I'm lying, but I swear that it's true
You think hurt only comes in one color
Have I got news for you
I've seen it all, in different shades of blue
Faded photo of a house for sale
Cold dark pewter of a casket rail
There's not too much these eyes ain't seen
Between the yellow and the green
You may think I'm lying, but I swear that it's true
You think hurt only comes in one color
Have I got news for you
I've seen it all, in different shades of blue
Every time we fell in love, breaking down and making up
The azure of a new sunrise, the shadow of a moonlit night
Standing in the ocean laughing, watching as the waves come crashing
Seeing colors that we never even knew
You may think I'm lying, but I swear that it's true
You think hurt only comes in one color
Have I got news for you
I've seen it all, in different shades of blue
You may think I'm lying, but I swear that it's true
You think hurt only comes in one color
Have I got news for you
I've seen it all, in different shades of blue
I've seen it all, in different shades of blue
I see a rainbow of colors spread out before me
I follow winding lines down a desolate road
I really don't mind what they say about me
I got a long way to ride to get where I want to go
It's alright, baby it's okay, I'm gonna pack my bags I'll be on my way
I'm coming back home, coming back home.
No more worries about the past, I know with you it's meant to last
I'll never be alone, coming back home
Travlled many a mile, seen so many places
The faces they pass, walking down this road
I really don't mind what they say about me
I got a long way to ride to get where I want to go
It's alright, baby it's okay, I'm gonna pack my bags I'll be on my way
I'm coming back home, coming back home.
No more worries about the past, I know with you it's meant to last
I'll never be alone, coming back home
I'd drive about a million miles
Just to get to see you smile
It's alright, baby it's okay, I'm gonna pack my bags I'll be on my way
I'm coming back home, I'm coming back home.
No more worries about the past, I know with you it's meant to last
I'll never be alone, I'm coming back home
It's alright, baby it's okay, I'm gonna pack my bags I'll be on my way
I'm coming back home, coming back home.
No more worries about the past, I know with you it's meant to last
I'll never be alone, coming back home
I'm coming back home
