The album produced three singles, all of which reached Top 20 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart: "Yee Haw", "Startin' with Me", and "Something About a Woman". A second album, 2009's Easy Does It, has accounted for three more singles: "Don't Think I Can't Love You", "Eight Second Ride", and "Tell Me".

He has also toured as an opening act for several country acts, including Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, Little Big Town, Sugarland, and Keith Urban.

Jake eventually took up golf, and began pursuing a career as a professional golfer, winning his first tournament at fifteen. After graduating from Vero Beach High School, they attended Florida State University. A wakeboarding accident which resulted in reconstructive surgery left Jake unable to continue playing the sport.
Peter Pan is a character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie. A mischievous boy who can fly and who never ages, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood adventuring on the small island of Neverland as the leader of his gang the Lost Boys, interacting with mermaids, Indians, fairies, pirates, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside of Neverland. In addition to two distinct works by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on Barrie's works.
Peter Pan first appeared in a section of The Little White Bird, a 1902 novel written by Barrie for adults.
The character's best-known adventure debuted on 27 December 1904, in the stage play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. The play was adapted and expanded somewhat as a novel, published in 1911 as Peter and Wendy (later as Peter Pan and Wendy, and still later as Peter Pan).
Following the highly successful debut of the 1904 play, Barrie's publishers, Hodder and Stoughton, extracted chapters 13–18 of The Little White Bird and republished them in 1906 under the title Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, with the addition of illustrations by Arthur Rackham.

i'm going as far as i can go, away from here,
away from you, jake, and the hole you've sunk me into.
i wish that i could belong here, with you, and just be,
but that's not all that i'm about.
your life is built on accidents, like meeting me.
you write everything down in your grocery list - people do this.
even insects buzz like airplanes, why can't we fly away?
i'm going as far as i can go.
your dad died, cause his heart hurt, arking away his forty-five years,
dragging your mom along.
i don't want that, neither do you. neither do you.
if i am not fun, and i am not interesting,
perhaps i am not interested in you, neither are you.
you can't stand in front of an oven, cause it's warm,
and the fumes are dangerous.
i'm going as far as i can go.
away from here, away from you, jake, and the hole you've sunk me into.
i wish that i could belong here, with you, and just be,
Why are you weeping
Over me this hour
I'm slipping away
But you know you couldn't keep me forever
I've gone too far to turn back again
And things will never be the same but...
CHORUS:
I'm okay
You'll see
Just believe
The words I pray
You'll see
Just believe
The words I pray
Where are you going
Searching for me in the shadows
The night is so dark
But the future holds something better
I know it's going to be alright
And things will never be the same
CHORUS:
I'm okay
You'll see
Just believe
The words I pray
You'll see
Just believe
The words I pray
The words I pray
And things will never be the same
No things will never be the same
CHORUS:
I'm okay
You'll see
Just believe
The words I pray
You'll see
Just believe
The words I pray
Don't wory Baby
I won't go away
Can't you feel it in the way that I tell you
That I'm here to stay
Don't worry Darling
It ain't no lie
Can't you tell by the way that I love you
Love is so alive
CHORUS:
I won't take my heart away
Baby I'm here to stay
I only want to hear you say
Hear you say you love me
Don't take your heart away
Tell me everything's okay
I only want you here beside me
Listen to me Baby
I've got to let you know
Can't you tell by the way I hold you
I'll never let you go
Let me tell you Darling
This love will survive
Can't you feel it when I say I love you
That it feels so right
CHORUS:
I won't take my heart away
Baby I'm here to stay
I only want to hear you say
Hear you say you love me
Don't take your heart away
Tell me everything's okay
I only want you here beside me
I don't thik anyone can see me
I don't feel anyone is there
To catch me if I fall
And I can't help but hide myself
Longing for the arms of Jesus
Waiting for the One I love
To whisper in my ear
And tell me I am loved again
I feel you inside of me
I'm not alone
CHORUS:
It's the right time to feel Your love again
'Cause they can't see me
And they don't want to let me in
But You are smiling 'cause You know where I began
And I know it's time to feel Your love again
I never thopught that I was worth it
I never thought that I deserved
This love I feel inside
I thought that I was by myself
But you know everything about me
You look deep inside
The motion picture of my life
And even if I fall again
I know You'll be there for me
To take me home
CHORUS:
It's the right time to feel Your love again
'Cause they can't see me
And they don't want to let me in
But You are smiling 'cause You know where I began
And I know it's time to feel Your love again
Don't ever wait to find what you've been looking for
Don't ever hide your light behind a closing door
Don't give up the fight to find a way to realize your dreams
Don't you know you can be anything that you want to be
CHORUS:
You can be a star shining out in the darkness
You can be a fire blazing into the cold
You can be a voice calling out in the silence
You can be a voice calling out in the silence
You can be as bright as the morning sun
You can be the blue sky after the gray
You can drive the clouds of fear away
You can bring the healing to a world that's come undone
Don't you know you can be the one
You know that you can be the one
Don't ever miss the chance to find what the future
'Cause I can see a passion burning in your eyes
I know there's a God who's up in heaven looking down
And we all play a part in a master plan of grand design, yeah
So you tell me that you're gonna be a star
And you say you're gonna be a zillionaire
And you say you're gonna send me back a post card
When you're sitting at the top amd I'm still down here
And you say...
CHORUS:
Baby all I want is more (All I want
Is more and it's never too much)
But I never get too much ( I see it
Every day but I can never touch)
And I'm getting what I want ( Getting
What I want's never been too tough)
But I never get enough (All I want is
More 'cause I can't get enough)
So you tell me how much better it would be
And you think the grass is greener over there
And you can't tell what you want from what you need
And you are traveling but you will never get there
And you say...
You were standing there
And I was not aware
Of the sunshine in your stare
Melting me
Changing me from gray to clear
Never before have I been seen like this
CHORUS:
Sunshine yellow eyes
Deep blue ocean smile
Look into this ice
Melt me
As you turn around
This time
You wash the world in white
You burn the sunlight with your eyes
Looking into me
And my heart anchored down in the sea of your smile
Things never happen like I wish they could
Only in my dreams
I've never been willing to give up my heart
Or let myself believe
But I have been waiting all of my life
Just for tonight
And this time I'm hoping, holding out for you
To let me see the light
CHORUS:
Make me a believer for once in my life
Right here and now
Touch me somehow
Let it be tonight
It's all on the line
I'm down on my knees
I don't know how but I'm ready to see
Clear every shadow of doubt in my mind
'Cause I want to believe
I've been sitting here staring at the rain
All alone tonight
Something about you is making me smile
With tears in my eyes
Maybe you've noticed, maybe you can tell
What's happening to me
When you say my name and touch my heart again
It's making me believe
Why can't this be one of the times
When I can see with open eyes
Shine your light
I'll never forget for the rest of my life
Oh---
VERSE ONE:
Sometimes I want to run and hide
To be completely out of sight from You
You keep calling out my name
Sometimes I think I'm just like Cain
My offering is not the same to You
CHORUS:
Then I remember Jesus came
To save a wretch like me
(He came to save a wretch like me)
Yes, He came so that I might finally be
(He came so I could finally be)
Free
VERSE TWO:
Sometimes it's hard to comprehend
That I have finally found a friend in You
You keep calling out my name
Sometimes on days when I don't care
You whisper softly in my ear I'm free
(repeat Chorus)
'instrument break'
Oh---
Free
Oh---
(repeat Chorus)
Oh---
(He came to save a wretch like me)
And, oh, I'm free, yeah---
Oh---
(He came so I could finally be)
Free
Oh---
(He came to save a wretch like me)
I used to live out here
My life and limb together
I used to hang my head
And dream to make it better
If you could understand what's happening to me
Then I wouldn't need myself
To tell me it's not the same
CHORUS:
I don't want to lose
No baby
I don't want to find myself all by myself again
I don't wan't to lose your love no
I don't want to find out that there's nothing left to win
Sometimes I feel like nothing's sinking in
I look around and have to ask you where I've been
Sometimes I think maybe it's time to take a chance
But I know you and I
Can reach the other side
If you see me on my own again sometime now baby
Oh yeah---
VERSE ONE:
Yesterday I saw you look at me
There was something in your smile
I didn't see before
Baby, now I see you in a different light
And I just can't do anything
To get you off my mind
CHORUS:
Girl, you make me go crazy thinking about you
I really wanna let you know
That I go crazy when I think about you, oh yeah
You make me go crazy thinking about you
I really wanna let you know
That I go crazy when I think about you
Think about you, oh yeah---
VERSE TWO:
Yesterday just seems so far away
When you were just another pretty face to me
I used to only think about you once in a while
But now I can't do anything
To get you off my mind
(repeat Chorus twice)
Think about you, oh yeah---
Think about you, uh-huh
Oh yeah---
I go cra---zy, crazy, crazy, yeah
VERSE ONE:
There's a brand new sun
Hanging in the sky today
It's been there every morning
When I pull back the curtains
And open up the shades
It hit me without warning
Maybe it's my point of view
But everything has changed since I met You
CHORUS:
Now life is sparkling
And love is glistening
I'm finding everything
Looks a whole lot brighter
Not a day goes by
Without a clear blue sky
And You're the reason why
It looks a whole lot brighter
Na na na na na na
VERSE TWO:
The clouds of the past
Do their best to block the sun
Casting shadows
But the light of Your love
Makes the darkness turn and run
And I'm standing in its glow
It's like nothing I've ever seen
It's like the sun is following me
(repeat Chorus)
Na na na na na na (x3)
(repeat Chorus)
VERSE ONE:
It's been a long time since I felt like I do now
Is it my imagination
You got through to me somehow
I don't even try to get you off my mind
And I know that I can't walk away this time
CHORUS ONE:
And I love the way I feel today
It's crazy, but this time I know
I want it
Oh, I need it
And every new sensation, every move you make
You know I'm ready
Oh, I'm ready
VERSE TWO:
Isn't it crazy what your heart can do sometimes
When it's not the same as yesterday
You open up your eyes
And you see the face you've been dreaming of
And you know that you're about to fall in love
(repeat Chorus one twice)
CHORUS TWO:
And I wonder where you are tonight
I wonder if you'll be alright, I'm waiting
And it tears me up inside
And my heart, it feels so heavy
And I just can't take it anymore
I'm ready
Oh, I'm ready
It's been a long time since I felt like I do now
It's been a long, long time
Since I fell in love
Since I fell in
In love
Oh---
VERSE ONE:
Nothing to say, so far away
Talking to you
You say I can never understand
What you've been through, oh---
(You can't go on) You can't go on like this anymore
(That's what love is for) Don't you know that
That's what love is for
CHORUS ONE:
Like an arrow through your heart
Like a fire in the dark
We are an army of love
We are not the enemy
We are here to set you free
We are an army of love
VERSE TWO:
So stay on the line, you know that I
Can be here for you, oh---
Love is on the way, you can feel that change
Is happening to you, yeah---
(Don't be afraid) Don't be afraid to just
Let love invade your soul
(Time to let it go) Don't you know it's time to let it go
(repeat Chorus one)
CHORUS TWO:
Over land and over sea
Taking over you and me
We are an army of love
You've got to open up your heart
Don't you know that you're a part
Part of the army of love
Oh---
C'mon
(repeat Chorus one)
(repeat Chorus two)
Oh yeah---
We are an army of love
We are not the enemy
We are here to set you free
Oh---
VERSE ONE:
It was You
Who came down from heaven
It was me You wanted to know
I am Your child, and I can see it in Your eyes
Caught in Your gaze
Caught by surprise
CHORUS:
This is love
This is how it's meant to be
I am loved, and this love has set me free
This is love
This is heaven's mystery
Not that I would love You first
But that You would first love me
VERSE TWO:
Tell me why
You would pursue me
Tell me how I could deserve
All You give
I am amazed
At what You would see in this heart of mine (see in this heart of mine)
You picked up my cross, and laid down Your life
(repeat Chorus twice)
Don't wory Baby
I won't go away
Can't you feel it in the way that I tell you
That I'm here to stay
Don't worry Darling
It ain't no lie
Can't you tell by the way that I love you
Love is so alive
CHORUS:
I won't take my heart away
Baby I'm here to stay
I only want to hear you say
Hear you say you love me
Don't take your heart away
Tell me everything's okay
I only want you here beside me
Listen to me Baby
I've got to let you know
Can't you tell by the way I hold you
I'll never let you go
Let me tell you Darling
This love will survive
Can't you feel it when I say I love you
That it feels so right
I don't know how to find You
But I need You now
You come and go it seems
So far away
You hide Your face from me
Where do You go when I am hungry like a child
For the eyes of a father smiling down
I want to know You love me
CHORUS:
I am waiting for You
I am waiting here tonight
I am praying for my eyes to see the light
But I have tasted Your life
And that's how I know I am tired of mine
It's only You that I am longing for tonight
I want You to take me from this place
I want You to lift my hands up high
CHORUS2:
I am waiting for You
I am waiting here tonight
I am falling on my knees
I can't find You
I am ready for You
I am ready for Your touch
VERSE ONE:
I played a game
Just like I was a child again
And I felt the pain
Crashing like a wave
And I sink to the floor
Like a stone from the shore
And I pray that You'll be there
To save me from the storm
CHORUS:
Underwater
And I think I'm going down
VERSE TWO:
I dreamed a dream
Just like I was a child again
It came over me
Crashing like a wave
I'm in over my head
As I struggle for air
And I'm calling for help
And I know that You'lll be there
CHORUS:
Underwater
And I think I'm going down
And I know that only You can save me now
In the storm of my life
You're the only hope in sight
Now I'm sinking and there's no one else around, oh no
Underwater, please don't let me drown
(repeat Chorus)
In the storm of my life
You're the only hope in sight
Now I'm sinking and there's no one else around, oh no
Underwater, please don't let me drown

VERSE ONE:
In the desert, I need Your rain
Won't You help me out of this pain
I look up at the sky
I'm so thirsty and dry
I've been wandering for so long
And I know my strength is all gone
And I wonder why
Lord, I just want to feel You...
CHORUS:
Raining down on me (I want it)
Everything I need (You got it)
Falling at Your feet (You know I)

Falling at Your feet (You know I)
I can feel You raining down on me
VERSE TWO:
Lord, You know that I need Your touch

(repeat Chorus one)
CHORUS TWO:
And even though I may lose sight of You
You never left my side
You carried me, yeah---
BRIDGE:
My selfish heart is blind to see
Forgetting how You carried me
It drifts away the vain pursuit
Of things that have no part in You
Break through the darkness of my mind
And shine Your love so I can find You now
Reach out Your hand and bring me back
(repeat Chorus one)
CHORUS THREE:
And oh, I pray, when I lose sight of You
Don't ever leave my side
Reach out Your hand
And bring me back to You
Oh---
See I know you´re gonna hate me for what I´m about to
tell you
I know it ain´t fair and I´m not proud of what I´ve
done
But I´m tryna be a man about it. That´s why I´m letting
you know
And these are my confessions. Listen
If I shared my secret now
You´d hate me too just like I do
But you deserve to know the truth
If I told you what I¨ve done
You´d be so hurt cause all my dirt would break your
heart
I´m sorry but
I´ve lived another life, I´ve told so many lies
I have another child, another house , another wife
I´m sorry for the pain I know you feel ashamed
I swear that I didn´t mean to, now I wish I could take
it back
But I did it now I can´t go back, I can´t erase the
pain
Cause I did it now I have to live with you flowing
through my veins
Cause I did it now the guilt´s got me wondering round
with no direction
Baby stop and listen cause this is my confession
I´m sorry. Oh man... damn
I know that it was cold to break your trust and turn to
dust your heart
I´m sorry but I must
Get this off my chest
It´s killing me, breaking me down ,tearing me up
I need my way out
Cause I´ve lived a different live and I¨ve told so many
lies
I have another child in another house with another wife
I´m sorry for the pain I know you feel ashamed
I swear that I didn´t mean to, now I wish I could take
it back
But I did it now I can´t go back, I can´t erase the
pain
Cause I did it now I have to live with you flowing
through my veins
Cause I did it now the guilt´s got me wondering round
with no direction
Baby stop and listen cause this is my confession
These are my... These are my confessions
I know that I messed up
See, I know that I did you wrong and I was a fool to
believe I wouldn´t get caught
But now I just can´t take it back
But I did it now I can´t go back, I can´t erase the
pain
Cause I did it now I have to live with you flowing
through my veins
Cause I did it now the guilt´s got me wondering round
with no direction
Baby stop and listen cause this is my confession
But I did it now I can´t go back, I can´t erase the
pain
Cause I did it now I have to live with you flowing
through my veins
Cause I did it now the guilt´s got me wondering round
with no direction
Baby I've been waiting so long
And I can't see what's going on
I've got to tell you how I feel
This time it's got to be for real
Cause I'm feeling so peculiar
When I see somebody else with you
And you know my head is turning
And it's time for me to make that move
CHORUS
Baby let me know what I should say to you
Just tell me what it is that Im supposed to do
Cause I'm falling apart on my own
Without you everyday
So tell me what to do
Baby when I close my eyes
I picture you inside my mind
I think about you all the time
Girl why don't you just give me a sign
Cause I never understood it
Baby why you made me wait so long
And I've got to get to know you
Cause the feeling's getting oh so strong
Why are you weeping
Over me this hour
I'm slipping away
But you know you couldn't keep me forever
I've gone too far to turn back again
And things will never be the same but...
CHORUS:
I'm okay
You'll see
Just believe
The words I pray
You'll see
Just believe
The words I pray
Where are you going
Searching for me in the shadows
The night is so dark
But the future holds something better
I know it's going to be alright
And things will never be the same
CHORUS
The words I pray
And things will never be the same
No things will never be the same
Looking at the future
Who can tell you what's going on?
It seems we have become a generation
Of wars and bombs
And the heart grows cold
And the fear grows strong
And the day may come
And it may not be very long
And you want to run
But you don't know where
Where do you go?
I know, and I'll tell you
CHORUS:
I am sure there will be a day
But it will not be like the nations say
The Lord will come when this life is through
And His deep desire is to be with you
Hearts will fly when the new world starts
And joy will rise like the morning star
God will meet every cry of the heart
And it's my prayer
I want you to be there
I used to think about the new creation
Things that God would do
So every now and then I stop and close my eyes
I enjoy the view
And the heart grows strong
And the fear grows weak
And I cannot wait for the new world to come to me
And while I dream
I pray for you
'Cause He wants you to go
I know, and I tell you...
I don't thik anyone can see me
I don't feel anyone is there
To catch me if I fall
And I can't help but hide myself
Longing for the arms of Jesus
Waiting for the One I love
To whisper in my ear
And tell me I am loved again
I feel you inside of me
I'm not alone
CHORUS:
It's the right time to feel Your love again
'Cause they can't see me
And they don't want to let me in
But You are smiling 'cause You know where I began
And I know it's time to feel Your love again
I never thopught that I was worth it
I never thought that I deserved
This love I feel inside
I thought that I was by myself
But you know everything about me
You look deep inside
The motion picture of my life
And even if I fall again
I know You'll be there for me
To take me home
bacon pancakes, making bacon pancakes
take some bacon and I'll put it in a pancake.
bacon pancakes, thats what its going to make,
oh flame princess i think your rad
i really want to kiss you
right in front of your dad
cause i think you're great
i wanna be you're mate
or maybe go on a date
cause it feels like there's a fire inside my body
like there's a fire inside my heart
it's like this fire is gonna consume me
if i keep waiting for this thing to start
oh i feel all warmed up inside
i feel all warmed up inside
When you saw the red mist, you were horny and pissed
No one tells you when you ought to go home
So you start locking horns, he's a stag to your fawn
Why the hell can't you leave it alone?
Well your arse hit the floor, still you stand up for more
There's no mercy for your stubborn pride
And your girl starts to plead, as your face starts to bleed
But with a drunken arm you flung her aside
chorus
(oh oh) Jake, Jake you know we love you
(oh oh oh) I know you're mad about the liberties he took
(oh oh oh)Make no mistake he'll crush you
(oh oh oh) Can't you see just how ridiculous you look
Well you wont give it up
Cos you don't give a ****
Seems that some people just never learn
Gave your shoulders a shrug,
Shouted danger's my drug
And like a dog to his puke, you return
Well this time was the last
His fist was too fast
His ring the last thing that you saw
And your point laid to waste
As a bid to save face
Left you eating your lunch through a straw
chorus
Mid 8
Your brow frowns and your knuckles drag
You mouth drools and your belly sags
Downtown kicking up a stink
The Drinking man is the missing link
Your brow frowns and your knuckles drag
Your eyes gaze out of two black bags
Around town kicking up a stink
The Drinking man ...ahh
chorus
Oh what a situation.
What bitter fruit you’re tasting.
Frustration escalates, I wait for your call.
If it wasn’t for your voice,
I wouldn’t have a telephone at all.
I see you when you’re sleeping,
I sneak in when you’re weeping.
I wonder how you’re keeping sense of it all.
Say it helps a little being piggy in the middle
When you call.
As life opens up another window
It dead bolts another door
And how could I miss you more?
I’ll never give up fighting,
You’re everything I’m fighting for
I swear to you I’ve never meant anything more.
‘Cos you are me,
We’re the same as the water of the fevered sea.
It’s the same as the water comes to kiss your feet.
Gently greeting the shore.
So how could I miss you more?
Now there’s no-one there like me
Then how does no-one there like me?
So, how are you sleeping?
Are you eating right?
Are you keeping up that smile of yours?
The one that makes the young girls feel special,
And leaves them all with the impression,
That you are not a child
I feel the same way too sometimes.
‘Cos in your eyes you see me as one of the good guys,
Where the baddie’s dead and the world is open wide.
In your eyes you see beyond this pantomime of restless
skin,
That you should not be starring in.
‘Cos none of this applies in your eyes
I want to live in your eyes. In your eyes…
As life opens up another window
It dead bolts another door
And how could I miss you more?
I’ll never give up fighting,
You’re everything I’m fighting for
I swear to you I’ve never meant anything more.
‘Cos you are me,
We’re the same as the water of the fevered sea.
It’s the same as the water comes to kiss your feet.
Gently greeting the shore.
So how could I miss you more?
As you grow older you’ll be closer and closer to me.
(And with this shadow I’ll watch you.)
Look over your shoulder, see I’m following you.
(By faith, through atrocity wash you.)
If you look inside your heart you will see that I’m
living there too.
(And when we are clean, we’ll travel ‘round the world)
Then once we’ve been, we’ll return back to home.
Just you and me, and we’ll snuggle close together
And we’ll talk of our adventures like we always do.
‘Cos I am you and you are me.
And in your eyes you see me as one of the good guys,
Where the baddie’s dead and the world is open wide.
In your eyes…
As life opens up another window
It dead bolts another door
And how could I miss you more?
I’ll never give up fighting,
You’re everything I’m fighting for
I swear to you I’ve never meant anything more.
‘Cos you are me,
We’re the same as the water of the fevered sea.
It’s the same as the water comes to kiss your feet.
Gently greeting the shore.
